I am not a dependent on my parents taxes. I was covered by my parents through Affordable Care Act for part of 2024. My Mother received a form 1095 A on which I am listed. I am using Turbo tax Premier and can't locate/find where to enter the Form 1095A info into turbo tax. I've googled it, I've tried Turbo tax Help, all to no avail. Can anyone tell me where and how to input the info, or do I really have to put it on my form. All the tax info I get says I must put the info on my taxes...HELP!
I'm no moron, except when it comes to taxes. Evidently I'm missing the obvious or its not obvious. I need detailed instruction....

You don't need to enter the Form 1095-A information if you didn't receive the form and your parents didn't allocate any of the insurance premiums to you when they completed their tax return. Even though you are covered on the policy, they would have an option to report the full premiums on their return.
It is hidden- look under Deductions & Credits, under Medical- Affordable Care Act. (see below)
I've tried your suggestion; however, the choice give is 1. Yes I received Form 1095-A, and 2. No, I didn't receive Form 1095-A. If I select that "I" received form 1095--A, then it takes me to fill in the numbers as though "I" received the form when in actuality my Mother received the form and I am listed on it. It doesn't allow me to state that my mother received the form, not me.
If I select 2. No, I didn't receive Form 1095-A, then it blows through to the next topic after cautioning me to wait for MY form.
I need a choice like: No, I didn't receive Form 1095-A; however, I am listed on my parents form 1095-A, and need to input the data from that form and the percentage allocated to me.
Thanks in advance for any, and all, help.

I tried not entering the form as suggested, both federal and state tax were kicked back/rejected saying form 1095A must be entered on the returns... back to the drawing board.
So it seems that different people are having different results. You can try to enter the 1095-A by selecting yes I did receive one and then enter that you shared the policy with another taxpayer and if your parents claimed 100% of the premiums, you would enter 0% as your allocated amount.
If this causes a rejection by the IRS, you may need to print and mail your return.
