How do you determine the allocation percentage applied to monthly amount of shared healthcare account

If you are claiming 100% for your own and your son only had coverage for 4 months of the year, would allocation for his healthcare be 0% or 100%

It is up to you, but I suggest allocating 0% to him and 100% to you. You both can't claim 100% and you are the one who had coverage the entire year, and likely had higher income, so it is better for you to take it.
