Keep in mind, however
The IRS will not accept the electronic tax return until the taxpayer
indicates whether
• they had coverage,
• had an exemption or
• will make a shared responsibility payment.
Returns filed on paper that do not address the health coverage
requirements may be suspended pending the receipt of additional
information and any refunds may be delayed.
