My daughter turned 19 in 2025 and I mistakenly enrolled on my marketplace account as a dependent.
In working on my 2025 return of course, my 1095-A has her as a dependent and I can't claim her as a dependent for federal tax purposes. How do I correct this?

If she does not qualify, you cannot claim her as a dependent. You want to enter the 1095-A exactly as it is.
On the page Policy shared with another taxpayer, select Yes
Enter the information on the Tell us more about your shared policy
On the What's your portion of this shared policy? The Get Help with this has this information:
If you share a policy with someone who is claimed on another tax return (usually a child), you can take the number of people on your tax return who are covered on that plan and divide it by the total number of people on the plan. This would be your percentage of premiums, SLCSP and advanced payment of the premium tax credit, unless you agreed on a different number beforehand.
Example: Rich and Jackie are divorced and have two children, Ronald and Jimmy. The children live with Jackie and she claims them as dependents, but Rich enrolled himself and the two children in a Marketplace plan in 2024. Rich and Jackie didn't agree on allocation percentages, so she takes the number of people on her taxes who are on the plan (the two children) divided by the total number of people on the plan (Rich and the two children). Jackie will take 67% of the premiums, SLCSP and advanced payment of the premium tax credit. Rich will take 33%.
NOTE: your daughter will have to report the same 1095-A information on her return, so be sure to have a copy of it for her to do her taxes.
