In California: To qualify for the premium tax credit, you must:
• File a federal tax return. Do this even if you don’t usually file a tax return or haven’t filed in the past.
• Send Form 8962 with your federal tax return. Do this to report the premium tax credit you got each month to the IRS. You will use your Form 1095-A to fill out Form 8962.
• File taxes as Married Filing Jointly. Do this if you’re married and live with your spouse. For exceptions, talk to your tax preparer.
