ACA Tax Penalty Calculator
Resource from the Tax Policy Center.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires everyone to have minimum essential coverage (MEC) beginning in 2014, unless a person is exempt. People who don’t comply have to pay the shared responsibility penalty, the amount of which depends on several factors, including income and family size. The Tax Policy Center calculator lets you estimate the potential ACA penalty for individuals and families who don’t have health insurance coverage.
