I claim my daughter but her father paid for her health insurance most of last year. Where does it ask for that information (for her) in the software (web)?

I claim my daughter on my taxes, but her father paid for her health insurance most of last year (Jan-Sept), and I paid (Oct-Dec). How do I include that in my taxes? I know I need the 1095 form from him but where in the software should it be included?

This information will be entered in the Health Insurance section of TurboTax Deluxe online.

• Login to your TurboTax account
• Click Take me to my return or pick up where I left off
• Click the Health Insurance Tab (on the top)
• In the Did you all have health insurance coverage in 2017? screen, choose We all had health insurance coverage all year or I'll pick who had it and which months (depending on your tax situation)
• On the Was anyone covered by any of these plans in 2017? screen, choose whether you or your daughter were covered by a Healthcare.gov plan, Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare), A plan that sent or will send a 1095-A or Another state's Marketplace plan
• If your daughter was covered by her father's employer plan, you would choose We had health insurance coverage all year or I'll pick who had it and which months (depending on if you had insurance all year).

The main objective of reporting the insurance you and your dependent's have is to reconcile any marketplace, Affordable Care Act or Marketplace plan.

If the father did purchase health insurance through any of those plans, then on the Was anyone covered by any of these plans in 2017? screen, you would click yes, click continue and answer the remaining questions that you will find the answers to listed on Form 1095-A.

The information I enter would be from the 1095-A form from her father? Is that correct?

[cameaf]

Yes, whichever of the 1095 forms he received, 1095-A, B or C
