Do I need to file health insurance if it was only dental coverage near the end of the year?

If the only insurance you had for 2017 was dental, then you did not meet the Minimum Essential Coverage. If you do not have insurance coverage throughout the year, you may qualify for an exemption. See below for exemptions.
