How do i enter my dependent's 1095A when it's combined with his non custodial parents plan? His father was court ordered to cover his health insurance.

To enter your dependent's Form 1095-A when it is shared with a non-custodial parent, you must use the Shared Policy Allocation feature in TurboTax. Even though the father is the policyholder and pays for the plan per court order, you as the custodial parent must report your dependent's coverage on your tax return.

Step-by-Step Entry in TurboTax

1. Go to Federal > Deductions & Credits > Medical > Affordable Care Act (Form 1095-A). Enter the data from the father's 1095-A exactly as it appears, including his Social Security number in the "Recipient" field.
2. After entering the form data, look for the screen titled "Was your health plan shared with someone who is not on your tax return?" and select Yes.
3. You will be prompted to enter:

• The other taxpayer's (father's) Social Security number.
• The Starting Month and Ending Month your son was covered.

On the "Shared Policy Allocation" screen, you must enter a percentage for your share of the Premium, the SLCSP, and the Advance PTC.  You and the father can agree to any split (e.g., 0%, 50%, or 100%) as long as your combined percentages equal 100%.  If the father is paying for the coverage and claiming 100% of the credits, you should enter 0% for all three categories on your return. This satisfies the IRS requirement to show where the child was covered without affecting your final tax total.
