how much tax will i have to pay if i don't want to buy health insurance under the affordable care act?
if you choose not to buy health insurance you'll owe an additional amount on your taxes. in 2014 the fee will be $95 per adult and $47. 50 per child up to $285 per family or 1% of family income whichever is greater. those fees more than triple in 2015; and by 2016 adults who don't buy insurance will owe $695 and $347. 50 per child up to $2 085 per family or 2. 5% of family income whichever is greater.
