Were you are on your mother's insurance plan and/or her dependent under the age of 26? 

If so,your mom's plan coverage for you counts toward the insurance requirement.

If you had coverage for the entire year (on your parent's plan, then your own) with no lapses, then answer 'yes' on the page, Did you have health insurance coverage in 2016?

Answer no, if there was a gap in coverage at any point in the year. Then proceed to enter the months covered.
