How do I file a 1095A that covered my dependent, but the "recipient" on the 1095a is their father?

I found that my kids were losing their healthcare benefits from Medicaid, so I had to add them onto their father's health insurance plan.  but since open enrollment had already ended, we had to purchase plans for them separately.  under the "recipient" on the 1095a only has their father on it. and each kid has their own 1095a form. am I able to use the forms on my return? I am not married to their father.

First, be sure it is a 1095-A.  1095-B and 1095-C forms are for your records only and won't be entered into TurboTax. 

If the dependents are being claimed by you on your tax return, you would enter both 1095-A 's into TurboTax under the Health Insurance section on your return.  TurboTax will walk you through and ask the right questions.  I've included more information  below:
