Now that you are sharing a marketplace plan with someone not in our "tax family" (no longer a dependent), you will need to allocate the plan between yourself and child and you'll each need to report your share of the Marketplace plan on your return. During the interview for the 1095-A, you'll be asked about your health plan being shared, so check the box to indicate it is a shared plan.   You and they should agree on what percentage of the SLPC you’ll claim on your return, and what percentage they'll claim on theirs. You can use any percent you choose from 0% to 100%, as long as you agree and it all adds up to 100%.   Here is an article that may be helpful for you: I'm on my parents' 1095-A form. What do I do on my return?

Yes, if you have net business income from 2022 and did not have health insurance available to you through you or your spouse's employer, you can deduct health insurance on your tax return.  See Deducting Health Insurance Premiums If You're Self-Employed.   NOTE: Under the IRS "three-year rule," you generally have three years from the original filing deadline to claim a refund so if you expect a refund, you must get the tax return filed by April 15, 2026.  

IS MY 2024 STATE OR LOCAL REFUND TAXABLE?   If you used standard deduction for your 2024 tax return, you do not have to enter a state or local tax refund you received in 2025.   If you itemized deductions then your state or local refund that you claimed on the 2024 return----and received in 2025---must be entered as taxable income on your 2025 return.  If you  are not sure if you itemized for 2024, look at your 2024 Form 1040 line 12.   Do you see the standard deduction amount or something else?       2024 STANDARD DEDUCTION AMOUNTS SINGLE $14,600    (65 or older/legally blind + $1950) MARRIED FILING SEPARATELY            $14,600    (65 or older/legally blind + $1550) MARRIED FILING JOINTLY $29,200    (65 or older/legally blind + $1550) HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD $21,900    (65 or older/legally blind + $1950)     If you need to enter the state or local refund — go to Federal>Wages & Income>1099-Misc and Other Common Income>State and Local Tax Refunds on Form 1099G  

If you used TurboTax Online to file your original return, and you want to file a superseding return, you will have to start over with a new account, create a new return, then print and mail it.  If you want to file an amended return, you should not do so until you have received your refund (if you are due a refund).  If you are not due a refund, make sure any payment you may have made has been processed.     Steps to Amend (TurboTax Online) Log In: Sign in to your TurboTax account. Select Year: On the "Tax Home" screen, scroll down to "Your tax returns & documents" and select the year you need to amend. Choose Amend: Select "Amend (change) return" and then select "Amend using TurboTax Online" . For additional information on how to file an amended return see the following TurboTax article:     How to File an Amended Tax Return with the IRS 

You cannot change or add anything on the return that you just e-filed, nor can you stop it.  It is too late, just like when you put an envelope in a US mailbox on the corner.  The IRS does not allow you to take it back.   If you left out a W-2, a 1099G, or a dependent, or a 1099 etc…DO NOT change your return while it is “pending.”  The changes will go nowhere.   Now you have to wait until the IRS either rejects or accepts your return.  If your return is rejected, you will be able to go into your account and make the necessary changes to your tax return and re-submit your return.    Sometimes—not always— the IRS corrects your mistakes, while they are processing your return.    If the IRS accepts your return, however, then you have to wait longer until it has been fully processed and you have received your refund.  THEN you can prepare an amended tax return and e-file or mail  it in. You have to be able to work from that return exactly the way it was when it was e-filed originally.  You will need to use a form called a 1040X.     Meanwhile, DO NOT go in and start changing anything on your return in the system, or you will make a mess for yourself.  Sit tight and wait until you see what the IRS does with the return you just e-filed
