You will need your Form 1095-A when you prepare your federal income tax return.

​

Your Form 1095-A shows the amount the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) paid to your insurance company to lower the cost of your health coverage. The amount paid was based on the most recent household size and income information you provided to Covered California. If that information changed during the year and you did not report the change to Covered California, you may have paid too much or too little for your health coverage. Below, are answers to common questions about IRS Form 1095-A.
