In TurboTax, CountyCare (which is an Illinois Medicaid plan) is handled under the Health Insurance section. Because it is a government-funded Medicaid program, it is generally simpler to report than private Marketplace insurance. Go to the Federal section and select Health Insurance. The most important step is confirming you did not receive a Form 1095-A. CountyCare is Medicaid, so you should receive a Form 1095-B (or sometimes 1095-C if through an employer), but the IRS does not require you to enter the data from a 1095-B into your return. Simply verify that you had health insurance coverage for all of 2025. There is no longer a federal tax penalty for being uninsured, and Illinois does not currently have a state-level mandate penalty (unlike California or New Jersey).
