As of 2019, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 reduced the ACA’s individual mandate penalty to $0. In reaction, several states and the District of Columbia have enacted their own ACA-style individual mandates requiring taxpayers to provide proof of health coverage to avoid financial penalties.

Employers should note that the reporting and penalty requirements under the individual mandates for California, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and Rhode Island apply to employers covering their residents under health coverage even when the employer does not maintain a physical presence, employ employees, or otherwise do business in the state.
