I am talking with him about the allocation for the family and I have read the pub you linked. I don't see anything about who paid for the policy but want to confirm with you that you don't read anything into that either.

 He is not getting his SE Health insurance deduction either because he made too much with the 1095A.


 

They can allocate it any way that they agree.  It does not matter who paid for it.

I don't understand your comment about the SE health insurance deduction.  If he is claiming the 1095-A, then he should be getting a SEHI deduction.  However, if is income is over 400%, I have read other posts the ProSeries screws up the numbers.  If all is allocated to the kid, then I don't THINK he gets a SEHI deduction (but I would need to look that one up).

ProSeries is not set up to allocate the 1095-A while using the SEHI deduction, so it would be best to allocate 100% to one tax return (which is almost always better anyways).
