I was on Covered California in the first quarter and qualified for aid. After discontinuing Covered California and going on Medicare, my income went up, and Turbo tax is saying I have to pay back all that I received from Covered California. Isn't there a form to show what my quarterly income was?

    Did your income go up, or your income tax go up?

     

    Next question, did you go on SS in the second quarter, so your income did increase?

     

    There are some less than obvious questions about calculating the PTC for part of a year.

    I withdrew from my Roth IRA while on covered California to pay bills. After cancelling Covered California and going on Medicare, I cashed out an anuity and withdrew from my conventional IRA with the understanding that my income did not matter once Covered California was cancelled.
