My son is a dependent. He received a 1095-A for a Marketplace Plan he had for January and February. Should his premiums be included on our return? 2nd request.

Yes, you will need this information for your return if you are claiming him as a dependent.  He does not reconcile this on his return in this case.  Please see this IRS website for more information:  https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/individuals-and-families/heres-what-you-need-to-do-with-your...

Basically, when you claim someone as a dependent, the IRS assumes that you are making sure that his health care needs are covered, since, if he cares for more than 50% of his own support (and health insurance is included in that support), he would not be a dependent.
