Covered Individual on 1095-A will be filing separate tax return

If 1095-A is provided to a parent who covered two dependent children....but now one of the children will NOT be a dependent and will be filing a separate return.  I understand that there has to be a shared policy allocation.  But does the adult child need to include a 1095-A with their tax return as well as the 8962 Form? And if so, which name should be in Part I (Recipient)? The parent who received the 1095-A or the adult child?  Who should be listed in Part II - Covered Individuals? All that were covered under the policy or just the adult child taxpayer?

    Thanks. I did read that thread previously, but it didn't seem to answer the question about whether the other taxpayer needs to provide their own 1095-A.  I think maybe the taxpayer just uses the information to complete the Form 8962 and doesn't have to include a 1095-A?

    Your client needs to file a 1095A. From the IRS instruction:  Information about individuals enrolled in the same policy as the tax filer’s tax family who are not members of that tax family, including children, must be reported on a separate Form 1095-A.

    What software are you using?

    Enter the 1095-A on both tax returns, just as it shows.  Then enter the allocation information and the software should do the rest.
