If I claim my daughter on my taxes because she in college how do I fill out the part of shared policy if I pay for everything?

I am at the point where it is asking for portion of shared policy but my daughter pays nothing so would the percent be zero?

If your daughter is your tax dependent, you would enter the Form 1095-A information on your return, even if she had some income and also files a return. You would only need to allocate a percentage to her if she was on your policy but not your dependent. Then you would need to allocate the premiums and Advanced Premium Tax Credit (APTC) using Form 8962, typically by dividing percentages.

Even though your daughter's name doesn't appear in the drop-down menu to select a person for Form 1095-A, go ahead and select you or your spouse's name. The information you enter in Box 1 and Box 2 will correctly identify the policy.
