CA Form 540 Question re Health Coverage Info

[drbdrb]

California Form 540 side 5 contains a question as to whether the taxpayer wants information about no-cost or low-cost health care coverage. Although I check the "no" box on the checklist, this does not result in the "no" box being checked on the form. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Its been reported that the CA health care entry worksheet still shows 2023 on it, I wonder if its not working correctly....or is their income too low that it doesn't matter if they had coverage or not so nothing appears on the worksheet?

Thank you. The fact that a "no" answer does not show up on the return does not prevent e-filing. The FTB instructions for Form 540 appear to indicate that only a "yes" answer will result in information being shared with Covered California. Just seems like an easy fix to get the "no" box checked on the return when such is entered in the input worksheet.
