SSDI and tax penalty for no health insurance?

Doesn't matter where your source of income is coming from; it doesn't exempt you from having health insurance so you will have to pay a penalty unless you are exempt because of the amount. File a tax return online. If exempt it will tell you. My housekeeper asked me to file her tax return online for her and it automatically determined that she was exempt from buying health insurance and therefore didn't have to pay a fine for not having it.

At least you can become entitled to Medicare 24 months from your month of entitlement to disability benefits. When you do you can file an application with the county welfare office to see if they will pay your Medicare premiums, deductibles and copays.

No. A person is not allowed to pay the penalty unless the person has enough income (not including SSDI) to be required to file a tax return. (SSDI is not counted as income for the purpose of determining whether a person must file. If that is their only income, then they are not required to file, and they are not allowed to pay the penalty even if they do file.)

You are not required to file a tax return if your only income is SSDI. No tax return, no penalty.

if you are required to file a tax return of course you will claim if you did or did not have health insurance and be subject to any penalties related to the level of your income

if you are receiving none taxable income, probably not even receiving a statement of earnings, you have no need to file, and there is not need to report if you do or do not have health insurance

A taxpayer who would not be required to file if not for the ACA reconciliation is exempt from the shared responsibility tax. It would be a good idea to file, however, so that this status is recorded at IRS. It might save dealing with a letter later on.

anyone with no health insurance longer than three months gts penalty

don't have to file, and no penalty
