As long as you had health insurance all year, the fact that you had to pay back some of the Federal Premium Tax Credit doesn't affect your California tax return.
Beginning January 1, 2020, California residents must either:
- Have qualifying health insurance coverage
- Obtain an exemption from the requirement to have coverage
- Pay a penalty when they file their state tax return
You report your health care coverage for 2023 on your 2023 tax return, which you will file in the spring of 2024. If you, your spouse or domestic partner, and dependents had qualifying health care coverage for each month of 2023, then make sure you check the “Full-year health care coverage box,” line 92, on your return.
