At the federal level, the IRS no longer assesses a tax penalty for lacking health insurance coverage. The federal individual mandate penalty established under the Affordable Care Act was reduced to zero effective January 1, 2019. However, taxpayers should note that certain individual states—including California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and the District of Columbia—enacted their own state-level mandates and tax penalties for uninsured residents.
