Covered California checks an IRS database of members to confirm they have filed a federal tax return. If you filed with an extension after April 15th, your federal tax filing status may not have been logged in the IRS system when Covered California checked the tax filing status. Consequently, many people who file their taxes with an extension are getting the Covered California letter stating they cannot confirm if the primary tax filer submitted a tax return. Another issue is if the primary tax filer for the last tax year is different than who is listed on the Covered California application.
