I stayed in USA from 2014 to Jul 2017 and I had Employer Sponsored Health Insurance coverage during my stay. I left USA in Jul-2017 and residing in foreign country till now, Do I need to pay tax penalty for not having health insurance for the remaining period of 2017(aug-dec)?
You'll need to sign in or create an account to connect with an expert.
Are US citizens living or working abroad required to get affordable health care insurance or pay the penalty under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)?
If you are a US citizen or resident alien abroad and you meet the BONA FIDE RESIDENT TEST test or the Physical Presence Test , you are considered to have essential minimum coverage under the Act and will not be required get affordable health care insurance or pay the penalty under the PPACA for the month or months that you qualify for either of these tests.
Continue through the healthcare questions. The system will tell you if the penalty was waived or not.
