Uninsured Facing Double Fines On 2015 Tax Returns


WASHINGTON — Many people who went without health insurance last year are seeing fines more than double under President Barack Obama’s health care law, tax preparation company H&R Block said Tuesday.

The minimum fine went up from $95 in 2014 to $325 for the 2015 tax year. It rises again this year to $695 for an adult uninsured for a full 12 months.
H&R Block said that means an uninsured family of four earning $60,000 will face a penalty of $975 for this year, compared with about $400 for 2015.
