Question

How do I indicate that I am insured under my parents' health insurance?

I opted out of employer-provided health insurance. Now TurboTax thinks I am uninsured, but I am covered by my parents' health insurance because I am under 26 years old.

You don't have to enter anything in the federal return.  If you are in the MA return:

  1. On the screen, When did you have minimum creditable coverage (MCC)?  mark the radio button, My health insurance met MCC all year.
  2. Answer the rest of the questions about your parents' coverage, since you are covered under their policy.

What do you mean "MA" return?

I am puzzled. Why are your saying that "Now TurboTax thinks I am uninsured,"?

 

Is this on the federal return or the state return? Is there an error message?
