Newly married in Nov. I had health coverage all year, but spouse didn't until Dec. Is his penalty based on combined household income or just his only?

If you file jointly, the ACA penalty is calculated on the total AGI on your return.

If you file separately. it will calculated on your spouse's income, but you'll lose other benefits.
