1095-A, does my parent need to file if I claimed 100%

Hello, me and my mother make less than the required gross income amount to file taxes. I make $8601 and decided to file a tax return for my future FAFSA. My mother received a 1095-A form as the receipt from the Texas marketplace and we had received $1448 in (C. )Monthly advance payment of premium tax credit. I decided to claim 100% of all the percentages on the 1095-A as I am a covered individual on the form. With that being said, does this still mean she needs to complete her own tax return?

Yes, she will need to include that on her return as well.  If your brother is not a dependent, he will have to list it on his return too.  It is fine if you take 100% of the allocation, but then they need to enter 0% on their returns.

Is she listed at all on the 1095-A? How old are you?  Are you still a dependent?  If you are a dependent on your mothers return, then you would not enter it on your return, your mother would need to enter it on her return.  

 

If you are filing for a future FAFSA, I am assuming you are still in high school?

She is listed as the recipient on line 4. I am 25 and she is 56. My FAFSA is for my senior year of university and I am not listed as her dependent. I have already filed my return with 100% on all percentages, should I amend it?

I just want to know if my mother now has to do a tax return?

If you mother was not insured on the policy, she would not need to file a tax return to report the 1095-A, especially since you, as the covered individual reported 100% of the allocation on your return. The Recipient is often just a responsible adult in the household, designated to receive correspondence. 

 

Here's more info on Form 1095-A.

I don't know if she is insured, I just know that I (25), my brother (21),  and my mother are listed in Part II of 1095-A as covered individuals, and my mother is also listed as the recipient. So does she still have to do the tax return? She makes 13300$ gross income for reference, as the head of the household.
