Hello, I just want to know

If the lowest priced plan through your job that covered just you and would cost you more than 8.16% of your household income, then it was considered unaffordable. If you don't take the insurance, you won't have to pay a penalty on your tax return.

If the cost is not more than 8.16% of your household income and you don't take the plan, you will have to pay a penalty on your return.
