During tax season, Covered California issues the IRS Form 1095-A, a crucial document for your tax filing. This form is essential for anyone who needs to prove they had Minimum Essential Coverage, reconcile Advanced Premium Tax Credit (APTC) received, or claim the premium tax credit. It reflects the amount paid to Covered California Qualified Health Plans for your health coverage in 2023.
