It depends. There are several exemptions that are possibly available. The easiest is exception C, citizens living abroad and certain noncitizens. If your husband was outside of the United States for 330 days of the previous 12 months (essentially 11 of the previous 12 months), he would qualify for this exemption. Simply select this option (see the screenshots at the end on how to do this in TurboTax in the Health Insurance section).
If he doesn’t qualify for this deduction, however, there are other exceptions for which he could qualify. The following IRS website has detailed information on this: https://www.irs.gov/affordable-care-act/individuals-and-families/aca-individual-shared-responsibilit.... Please note that certain exemptions must be granted by the Marketplace before you file.
Hopefully,
one of these exemptions fits your situation.
If not, you will be responsible for the penalty for all months up until
November.
