IRS Proposes Penalties for Non-Coverage under Obamacare


The Internal Revenue Service has recently outlined Affordable Care Act regulations that detailed the monetary penalties for individuals who do not sign up for health care coverage in 2014. IRS officials have detailed what will be considered the “minimum essential coverage” under the Affordable Care Act, as well as a breakdown of the fines that will be incurred. If taxpayers do not enroll in available health care programs, they will incur monetary fines as a penalty. Under the shared responsibility provision of the act, individuals who do not have the minimum required coverage in a specific month could incur the following proposed annual fees:
·         $95 in 2014
·         $325 in 2015
·         $696 in 2016
After 2016, the fees will be readjusted according to the current cost-of-living amounts. For more information about the Affordable Care Act regulations, visit the websites linked below. If you have any questions, please contact us!
