Hello,
My domestic partner and I have a situation related to this.
Prior to our domestic partnership (which started Dec'22), he was foregoing health insurance since it was unaffordable based on projected income. His penalty was usually quite low so it made financial sense to do this. However now that we're filing taxes together, given the dual income, the penalty has become significant.
Is it possible to get an exception, based on affordability related to projected income, prior to our domestic partnership starting? When consulting Covered California they highlight they can only do exceptions looking into the future, and that for previous months should just be claimed on tax return. What would be the best path forward?
