TP falls under this category:
Exemptions from the payment
If you didn’t have minimum essential coverage for all or part of 2014, you may qualify for an exemption from the penalty if any of the following apply to you.
You’re uninsured for only 1 or 2 consecutive months of the year
1. Under shared responsibility, do I have check off the two months? If yes, I am getting a 16 penalty in this case.
2. Forgot shared responsibility and go to individual exemptions and check "B" short coverage gap? No penalty in this case.
Your thoughts?
Thanks

There is this form, unfortunately I can't remember the form number, but basically you let the IRS know the account is not under the TP name but you are claiming it and letting them know.
I wanted to add this, but permission to edit my post was denied.

Does form 3115 have to be prepared if you are not making any of the following changes:
The treatment of an asset from nondepreciable to depreciable or vice versa.
Change to the depreciation method, recovery period or convention of a MACRS asset.
Change from improperly expensing to capitalizing an asset.
Or do you simply elect the Safe Habor and forget about form 3115?
Thanks

Ok I went ahead and claimed unfordable and the penalty disappeared, but my concern is that TP did not get health insurance not because he couldn't afford it, he could of went with medicaid, but because he didn't know he had to have it.
The penalty is correct according to the worksheet, in this case it's a family of 3, one adult and two kids under 18, total penalty is $195.00, kids are elementary students and don't work, total income for the family is approx. $20K.

Win7 backup utility does like external hard drives that are over 2TB, you'll get an I/O error, best way to prevent this is to partition the hard drive. Learned the hard way after spending most of the day trying to backup my computer.
I think if it's a joint return the form 8965 is for both, looking at fake return I just created to duplicate your scenario, but under part III you will select the wife and use "C".
