Generally, if you include an income source on your federal tax return, include it on your Marketplace application. Refer to IRS instructions on income. Exceptions and details for the Marketplace appear below.

Do I have coverage now?

When you apply for Marketplace coverage, you'll be asked if you (or anyone else on your application) currently have health coverage. If you plan to keep another type of coverage, you generally won’t be able to also get savings on a Marketplace plan. 

How you answer the question “Do you live with one or more children under age 19, and are you the main person taking care of that child or children?” depends on marriage status and other factors. Use the following tables to help guide you in answering this question.

Note: If you have no children, or no children living at home, answer “No.”

If you get a notice from the Marketplace saying you need to submit documents to confirm your move, you can upload or mail documents. Uploading is the fastest and most efficient way to get us the documents.

IMPORTANT: Upload or mail documents as soon as possible. If you don’t submit documents by the deadline, you won’t have Marketplace coverage.
