I had health care.gov half the year, then medicare half the year?? Now what?

Both would qualify as you having been covered by health insurance.

You would answer "I had health insurance coverage all year." under the Health Insurance tab in the program and continue through the interview.

You should answer "Yes" on the screen that asks "Were you covered by any of these plans in 2017?".

You will click the button next to "Affordable Care Act, aka: Obamacare" on the screen that asks "What type of plan were you enrolled in?"

You will enter the information from your 1095-A, which is the form you should have received from the Marketplace.

The TurboTax software will reconcile any tax credit you received or are eligible for. 

The program will know that the months not reported on the 1095-A were months you had other coverage (Medicare) because you answered that you had coverage for the entire year.

See the attached screen shots for more clarity on entering the information.
