I am in the Military. What do I put down for healthcare?

If you have been in the military all year and have been covered under Tricare all year, simply indicate that you have had health insurance coverage for 2015.

Although it's a government program, it's not considered "marketplace".

When going through the Health Insurance section, all you have to do is:

a. answer "Yes" to "Did you have health insurance coverage in 2015?"

b. select "No" to "Were you enrolled in a plan from Healthcare.gov or another Marketplace in 2015?"

That's correct. Answer "All year" to the first question, and "no" to the second.
