Franchise Tax Board: reporting requirements

California moves the Franchise Tax Board’s annual health-coverage-penalty report deadline from March 1 to April 1.

The change gives the Legislature the same required data on household penalties, exemptions, and state health-coverage subsidies one month later each year.

What the law does ​

  • Requires the Franchise Tax Board to submit its annual report by April 1, after the initial March 1, 2022 report.
  • Continues required reporting on penalties by county, income class, and federal poverty level.
  • Continues required reporting on exemptions and state financial subsidies, including reconciliation adjustments.

Who it affects ​

  • The Franchise Tax Board.
  • The Legislature.
  • Households subject to the health coverage penalty or receiving related state financial subsidies.
