I received a 1095-A from Covered California for my daughter's health insurance. I am listed as the Recipient and my daughter as the Covered. Turbo Tax is asking if if I shared the policy with another taxpayer who's not on my taxes. Do I check that boxer leave it blank? Do I consider my daughter as sharing the policy with me even though I wasn't covered? Screen shot attached.

    If your daughter is a dependent on your return, then you will answer No, you do not share the policy with another person.

     

    If your daughter is NOT a dependent on your return, then you will answer yes you do share it with another person and she will need to enter it on her return as well.

    Thanks. She was not a dependent in 2021, but I was paying her health insurance premiums through Covered California while she was finishing up college. Will she need to check the same box in Turbo Tax and add me and my SSN? Will it affect her tax burden? When I click the box on my Federal return it adds about $700 in taxes! It seems less than "affordable".
