Should I claim my adult son as a dependent or will the prohibit him from benefitting from Marketplace health insurance subsidies?

You may not wish to claim him as a dependent.

 

  • If you claim him, you are required to provide health insurance for anyone whom you claim as a tax dependent.
  • The household would include You, (Your souse), and all of your tax dependents.
  • The Marketplace counts estimated income of all household members.
  • So, the marketplace policy would be based on his and your income.

Please so this HealthCare article Count income & household size.
