Health Insurance And Your Taxes

Tax filing season will be here before you know it, and there is a big change on the tax forms that almost 50 percent of Americans aren’t aware of. Tax filers will be required to verify that they have health insurance when they file their 2014 taxes, or face a penalty.

An Intuit TurboTax survey carried out by Harris Poll among over 2,000 people aged 18 or over found that around 48 percent of Americans are still unaware of this new Obamacare rule.

The deadline to avoid having to pay a penalty for the 2014 tax season has already been and gone, although 87 percent don’t actually realize that. However, about 62 percent of Americans without health insurance do realize that they will have to pay some sort of penalty for not having current and valid health insurance.
