At the start of the year I did not think I would qualify for the subsidy, but as things have turned out my income was less than the maximum.

The health plan I used was available both through the government website and directly from the insurer. Can I claim the ACA Premium Tax Credit on my 2016 return? If so, what documents will I need?

You claim the tax credit for the tax year in which it was received. The government will send you a 1095-A denoting your monthly premium as well as your monthly advance premium PTC. You'll use form 8962 (Premium Tax Credit) in your filing and if your income ends up at your estimation, the tax credit is all yours.
