Hello,

Please Help! I put in my 1095-A info and are self-employed. I also had my daughter on my health insurance until 11/30/2022. Turbo tax allows me to check the box for self-employed and also for " that I shared this policy with someone not on my taxes". However, when I get to the end and run error check it gives me six errors because of a "business-related smart sheet" in relation to entering in my daughters social, PTC and Premium percentages and time frame she was on my health plan. So, assuming okay to just bypass with these errors? I am assuming calculations would still be correct? Lastly, in reading about the Premium, SLCSP, PTC percentages I need to enter; it sounds like we can calculate, or we can come up with an agreed percentage between myself and my daughter, correct? Example: I could say 75% then my daughter would need to put 25% on her taxes as long as it adds up to 100%, correct? Also, turbo tax in its little help section states to leave the "SLCSP Percentage blank" in my situation; just to fill out the PTC and Premium percentage, Is that correct? Thanks a lot, in advance, Mark.

So, assuming okay to just bypass with these errors? I am assuming calculations would still be correct? The calculations are likely correct, however, if it is giving you an error, it will not likely allow you to e-file. What exact error is it giving you in regards to your daughter? Is it telling you that she is not on the return or something else?

Lastly, in reading about the Premium, SLCSP, PTC percentages I need to enter; it sounds like we can calculate, or we can come up with an agreed percentage between myself and my daughter, correct? Example: I could say 75% then my daughter would need to put 25% on her taxes as long as it adds up to 100%, correct? Yes, this is correct. You can allocate in any manner you choose to. You can even allocate 0% and 100% as long as it totals 100%.

Also, turbo tax in its little help section states to leave the "SLCSP Percentage blank" in my situation; just to fill out the PTC and Premium percentage, Is that correct? Is the SLCSP not on your 1095-A? What is your exact situation that it is saying do not enter this? The SLCSP is generally used to calculate your Premium Tax Credit

Thanks so much for reply. To clarify better, my situation is this. I am self-employed. Myself, my wife, and my daughter were all on the same marketplace plan for 2022. I am not able to claim my daughter as a dependent for 2022 as well, due to income, not full-time student anymore, she is 23. So essentially me and my wife shared the plan with our daughter. I file married jointly. My daughter will file single her own return. In completing the step-by-step instructions in Turbo Tax, it asks me to check if the following situations apply to me. I check the box for being self-employed and the box for sharing the plan with someone else. Then it asks how many months we shared and to input her social and the Premium, PTC, SCCSP percentages. I do that then move on, when I get to the end and run error check it gives me 6 errors. All of them have to do with the fact that i checked self-employed and that i shared it. I actually unchecked the self-employed box and then all of the errors go away. They all have to do with where i put my daughter social, and the months and percentages of our shared plan. Here are 2 of the 6 errors:
