Health Care Coverage Information
If you are interested in no-cost or low-cost health care coverage information, check the "Yes" box on Form 540, Side 5. If you check the "Yes" box, you, and your spouse/RDP if filing a joint return, authorize the FTB to share limited information from your tax return with Covered California (the state agency that provides Californians with access to affordable health insurance) for their outreach and enrollment efforts. Limited information that will be shared include the following:
Taxpayer name, or in the case of taxpayers filing a joint tax return, the names of both spouses or RDPs.
Full mailing address listed on the tax return.
Number and age of household dependents.
Gross income.
