Fee

Back to glossary

A payment ("penalty," "fine," "individual mandate") you made when you filed federal taxes if you didn't have health insurance that counted as qualifying health coverage for plan years 2018 and earlier. The fee for not having health insurance no longer applies. This means you no longer pay a tax penalty for not having health coverage.
