PTC 8962 dependent

My son who I am claiming as a dependent had 'Obamacare'  (4 months) and we have a 1095A covering him only.  He filed his own tax return (he had wages) knowing that I would claim him as a dependent.  I had to manually go in and add his information to the Turbo Tax generated 1095A, but it appears that TT does not think the 1095 needs to be filed (paper filing) with the Tax Return forms.  Problem is 8962 does not show him as the recipient of PTC.  He needs to send in 8962 (I assume from my return) and his 1095 (have the original in addition to TT generated version).  I'd like 'my' 8962 to show him as recipient so when a copy goes to the IRS it is clear.  .....One thought was to do the percentage allocation on the 8962, but allocate 100% to him (not sure if TT will let me do this).  I know that I will have to repay all the PTC (his circumstances changed during the year where he went back to being a dependent after being on Obamacare for part of the year.  FWIW other credits I can claim with him as dependent make it worthwhile to repay the PTC.
