If I was married in June of 2018 and on my parents health insurance for the whole year, how should I input the information to say I was covered under someone else?

You being covered under your parent's health insurance will only be an issue if the policy is from a Marketplace (Obamacare or ACA plan) and your parents receive a 1095-A.  The details of a government plan must be reported on your tax return.  Employer plans or plans that issue a 1095-B or 1095-C do not get reported.  Indicating that you were covered is enough.  

If the policy is NOT through a plan that issues a 1095-A, all you have to do is answer the question about being covered YES and answer NO to the ''Does this plan issue a 1095-A'' question.  

The first question asks ''Were you covered''.  it doesn't matter who covered you.  If you were covered all year, answer YES.  The next question asks if your coverage was from a 1095-A plan.  If you answer NO, you are done reporting your health insurance information.  If yes, you will need to enter the information from the 1095-A that you were covered by.
