My Client is divorced. She is claiming their daughter and her Ex-Husband is claiming their son. My client received two separate 1095-A forms. One has her daughter as the covered individual and the other has her son as the covered induvial. The mother (my client) is the recipient on both forms. Do I need to enter the 1095-A form with her sons name on her return? Even though she isn't claiming her son?

    No.

    If the 1095-A show the son as the only "covered" person and the son is not on the tax return, that 1095-A should not be entered on her tax return.  That 1095-A should be entered on the ex-husband's tax return.
