Do I claim the 1095-A or does my mom? Her name is the recipient's name and social; but I am listed as covered in part 2. I am filing as independent for 2019.

Since your Mom is the recipient, the 1095-A belongs to her. You are simply considered covered under her insurance. Hope this helps.

You do not need to worry since your mom is claiming you as a dependent. She MUST reconcile the advance premium credit she received by filing Form 8962 using the info from her 1095-A.

I have the same questions as above.

My mother shows as recipient in the 1095-A

I am under covered individuals in the 1095-A

I am also filing as independent. This is because, I moved out during summer and I got my own insurance through my job when I started in the summer. Can my mom still claim me as dependent as you said?

It depends, f you are under 24 and a full time student with income less than your standard deduction, then your mother may claim you as a dependent, but she has to qualify.  The temporary absence such as going away to study can be counted towards the time you lived with your mother. 

 

The form 1095-A must be filed by your parents, but if you file taxes, you need to enter 1096-A on your return as well.
