I filed tax for 2025, but I am missing form 1095-A that I did not file, it is for my In-laws who are no longer in USA.

They only stayed with us for 5 months in 2025, it is addressed under their names. I filed only for my two dependent kids and my spouse.

I think you mean you received a Form 1095-A that was in the name of someone else. If so, they would need to enter that on their tax return if they were required to file one.

Thanks for the response. They are no longer in USA, and went back to overseas country which is their native country. They only stayed for a few months last year, we did support them during the time. In other words they would be dependents I believe.

Any thoughts about the situation? 

[ThomasM125]

They would have to be US citizens, nationals or resident aliens or a resident of Canada or Mexico to qualify as dependents. Also, you would have to furnish over 1/2 half of their support for the entire year and they would need a social security or ITIN number. 

From what you posted is seems they were the ones who were enrolled in the heath care plan, in which case they would be the ones who would enter the 1095-A form on their tax return.

Thanks for the response. Well my FIL got the form 1095 A. He only stayed here for 4 months in 2025 and flew back.

So he still should file his taxes even though he didn't earn money and was under my support? I'm not clear on that.

Did he receive the premium tax credit? I am assuming he is not a green card holder.  If he is a non-resident alien, then he would need to file a 1040NR if he has a filing requirement.  TurboTax does not handle the 1040 NR but sprintax.com does.  He would need to file if he did receive the Premium Tax Credit as he would not be eligible for it and would need to pay it back.  In order to qualify for the Premium Tax Credit, you must be a US Citizen, or Resident Alien.

He is a green card holder. 

For 2025 he only stayed for 4 months and went back to his country. For 2026 he currently is with his other daughter in CA.

But he did not apply for the ACA health plan. 

[Vanessa A]

Ok, so then he is treated as a US Citizen for tax purposes.  Whether or not he had income, IF he received he premium tax credit, he will need to file a return. 

[ssosale]

Thanks for the clarity, Now that it's getting clear that I have to file the tax on his behalf, the following questions came up:

1. What is the form for filing his taxes(1040...?XXX)

2. He does not have or had any income when he stayed with us during 2024, as we supported him 100%, How will I denote this situation to the IRS?

3. Is it too late for filing on his behalf? and He has to sign the form?( I believe so)

[Vanessa A]

If he is a Green card holder then he would file a form 1040.  Depending on how long he held his green card in 2025 (are we talking about 24 or 25- I see 2 different years now) he may have to file as a Dual Status Resident which he would still file the 1040 form for his time in the US as a Green Card Holder, and write that on the top of his return.  

Since he has no income, his return will need to  be printed and mailed.

For the 2025 return, they are due April 15th. 

Yes, he would need to sign it unless he appoints you as power of attorney for his return.
