Question: do you pay a penalty for not having health insurance in 2020?
Answer: (The fee is sometimes called the "penalty," "fine," or "individual mandate.") Starting with the 2019 plan year (for which you'll file taxes by July 15, 2020), the Shared Responsibility Payment no longer applies. ... You'll be charged a fee when you file your 2019 state taxes. You won't owe a fee on your federal tax return.
