ObamaCareâs individual mandate requires that most Americans obtain health insurance by 2014 or pay a tax penalty. The individual mandate went into effect at the beginning of January 2014 and continues each year.
For tax year 2016, the penalty will rise to 2.5% of your total household adjusted gross income, or $695 per adult and $347.50 per child, to a maximum of $2,085. For tax year 2017 and beyond, the percentage option will remain at 2.5%, but the flat fee will be adjusted for inflation. How to avoid the Obamacare penalty. The simplest way to avoid the penalty is by having insurance. The ACA set up the health insurance marketplace at Healthcare.gov to make this possible.
