For tax year 2016 I only had health insurance for December. Can I amend this and lose the penalty, since I was under 26? I was not on my parent insurance.

Your age is not relevant for the requirement to have health insurance.

I agree, being under age 26 has nothing to do with it.

You can check if you qualify for any exemptions here:
