<prompt> Human: I am in quite a bind. I have healthcare coverage from my current employer but that only kicked in during December. I left home back in February of 2016 to escape an abusive household, but I was under my parents health care before and even after I left. They had me on their plan for the entirety of the year I think because they sent me notification around October November that they were taking me off. The issue is now the IRS is saying I need to provide proof of both coverages or otherwise I have to declare that I was not covered for the 11 months. I have proof from my employer for my December coverage, but I tried getting something and anything from the previous health care provider regarding proof of coverage for the other part of the year. I have my health insurance card from then and they said that wasnt enough. When I contacted the health insurance company on the card, they said I had to contact the marketplace. I did and they said I had to fill out a 1095 a form and an 8962 which they could help me with.Now here is the real pain of it all. I was under my dads plan so they cannot do anything further unless he provides them with his information. I cannot contact him about it because he has been sending me death threats for the past year so I know he will not help. Is there anything I can do? The IRS says that without those forms, I have to declare that I was without coverage and pay penalty fees. Thats seriously messed up because I did have coverage and I dont want to have to end up lying and just paying fees for essentially an 11 month streak of being without coverage.  <response>: Try rlegaladvice - they may have an approach you can useIf your dad is sending death threats, you should be filing a police report and a restraining order if you havent already. Then an intermediary like the court system may be able to get the documents you need.
