Avoid surprises at tax time! When you file your taxes, if your income, household size, or address with Covered California is different from what you report on your tax forms, you could get a refund, a credit, or have to repay some or all the financial help you received. Be sure to report any changes as soon as possible. 

You’ll need a health insurance coverage tax form for your 2025 taxes. The form you need depends on whether you purchased your plan through Covered California (IRS 1095-A) or directly from Blue Shield of California (IRS 1095-B). We are not tax professionals and cannot provide tax advice. However, we can help you find your IRS health forms and the related information you need to file.

If you purchased your plan from Blue Shield of California, your 1095-B tax form will be available in your online account in early February. We will mail it to you, as well.
