Question: What if I don’t have health insurance?
Answer: The penalty will be $695 or more when you file your 2020 state income tax return in 2021. The penalty for a dependent child is half of what it would be for an adult. A typical family of four that goes uninsured for the whole year would face a penalty of at least $2,000. The penalty will be applied by the California Franchise Tax Board when you file your state tax return.
