Would I be penalized if I only had partial coverage on health insurance for the year 2016?

I had coverage from January through April 2016

Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When it begins asking you questions regarding health care coverage, you'll be given a multiple choice option such as:

  • Everyone covered all year
  • Nobody covered all year
  • Some people covered some time of the year.
    • You'll be asked to clarify the time if necessary based on the answer you choose.
  • It will determine whether you had adequate coverage.

TurboTax Online question panels include 'special circumstances' blue links when necessary. Keep an eye out for blue links in question boxes, they'll have your answer when necessary if you have a special circumstance.
