There is no penalty for not having health care insurance for tax year 2019 and beyond. If health insurance was provided from the Marketplace, state or healthcare.gov then a Form 1095-A would be received. The 1095-A is required to be entered so that the Form 8962 Premium Tax Credit can be generated.
The 1095-A information is entered under Deductions & Credits this year:
