Hello,
I came to USA in 2013 on F-1 visa. Until 07/2018, i was on F-1 visa (OPT), however my status for tax purposes changed from non-resident alien to resident alien in 2018. I got H-1b visa in 07/2018.
I did not have health insurance coverage in 2018 until 08/2018. So do i have to pay the tax penalty for not having any coverage for some part of the year ? If yes, is there a way i can reduce this penalty by claiming exemption under Form 8965 ? Please let me know
Thank you.
