I am on my parent's health insurance, but live in another state. I didn't get an 1099-HC form in the mail--should I have? How do I fill out this portion of the state tax?

All you need to complete the MA HealthCare certification are three pieces of data:

The name of the insurance company - from your insurance card
The Tax ID (EIN)of your parents' insurance company - you should be able to call the company and obtain this
Your subscriber number from your card

Following on - Form 1099-HC is a Massachusetts form - are your parents elderly and have insurance coverage through either a Medicare plan or MassHealth?

Are your parents in MA, and did they receive a 1099-HC? If so, use the information from their 1099-HC.

If you don't have a 1099-HC, it's your responsibility to determine whether your insurance meets MCC requirements. See here for more info (FAQs 6 and 7):

Complete the Health Insurance interview as follows:

Enter the insurance company name and the subscriber number, but leave the FID blank. When asked if you received a 1099-HC, answer "No". You should be able to complete the rest of the TurboTax interview.

I live in MA, but my health insurance (vis-à-vis my parents) is from PA. Is there a way to "inform" Turbo Tax that my insurance is private insurance, but from outside MA?

Please review this following Turbo Tax link, to properly answer the questions about your health coverage through your parent's insurer. in the link, it outlines the following steps.

All you need to complete the MA HealthCare certification are three pieces of data:

The name of the insurance company - from your insurance card
The Tax ID (EIN)of your parents' insurance company - you should be able to call the company and obtain this
Your subscriber number from your card
and check off - did not receive 1099-HC

No, your parents have the form. They received it from their insurance carrier with the list of all of those covered.

This is incorrect--only Massachusetts health insurance providers send out 1099-HCs.

Possibly. If your 1099-HC does not have the required information needed to file your state tax return, you will need to contact them to obtain the correct EIN so you can electronically file your return. If they are unable to provide this information, and your electronic filing does not go through, you will need to mail your return in.
