My grandmother is claiming my daughter this year, do they need the 1095-A for my daughter? She is only 13

Not A Product Question

Yes. If your daughter receives insurance through the Marketplace, whoever claims her will need to enter the 1095-A on their return. Depending on the situation, and if the policy is a shared policy and how it is allocated, it is possible, that claiming her would result in them owing the advanced premium tax credit back.

It is a shared policy with me and my family, the grandmother is claiming her because she still helped us financially for the 7 first months before we moved out of state.

Are you able to claim her? Did she live with the grandmother for more than 6 months during the year? Helping you financially does not mean that she can claim her as a dependent, if she doesn't otherwise qualify as her dependent.

The following criteria must be met to claim someone as a qualifying child:

Your child (including adopted and foster children), your sibling, or a descendent of any of them.
Age 18 or younger at the end of the tax year OR under 24 (and younger than you and your spouse) if they are a full-time student
Lived with you for more than 6 months during the tax year
They did not provide more than half of their own support (social security does not count)
They did not file a joint return, unless it was to claim a refund
