I have an adult child that made less than $7000 in 2019. I have marketplace insurance and we are both on it. She is filing separately. How do I allocate the percentages on the 1095-a page? I could put 50% but what happens to her 50%?

    If you allocate 50% to your daughter, your daughter's 50% allocation of the 1095-A gets reported on her tax return. 

     

    Your daughter will need to enter your 1095-A when she prepares her tax return.  Just like you, she will check the box indicating that the policy was "shared by somebody who is not on her tax return" and answer the allocation questions. 

     

    You and your daughter can choose the allocation, or you can claim 100% of the 1095-A.  See the details at this section of the IRS Instructions for Form 8962 for detailed instructions.

    Thanks, the policy is under my name only. She would still need to report her 50% on her return?

    That's correct.

    "Filing separately" doesn't mean anything.  Does she qualify as your dependent?  If you are not sure, what is her age and was she a full-time student for any part of 2019?  Is her income over $4200?
