I have a split york heat pump that has the condensation tube broken
off where it exits the building, near the heatpump. Where should it
go? I've seen them empty back into the heatpump pan, presumably it
increases the efficiency of the AC?
Thanks, Jack

Seriously, I have to extend the pipe away from the foundation, but
then it makes a puddle on the lawn. Can I route it back so that it
evaporates on the bottom of the AC, or not?

No.
And if a little condensate 'makes a puddle on the lawn', you
have drainage problems.

Jack, where I live the building code gives us 3 choices:
1) a roof or floor sink
2) into the tail piece of a sink
3) a dry well
I would not recommend routing it back to the condenser, as
that may cause premature deterioration of the coil, base pan, etc.
Dig a hole, fill it with gravel, now you have a drywell.
