of the NEW Mandatory Health Insurance Law in Massachusetts ~ Ask Your Tax Preparer

 
PENALTY FOR NOT HAVING HEALTH INSURANCE UP TO
$912.00 in 2008
under the
'07
MANDATORY
HEALTH INSURANCE LAW
IN MASSACHUSETTS

Effective  as of July 1, 2007 ALL MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS HAD TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts has passed this new law in April 2006 under MITT ROMNEY where the United States Congress has failed to address the growing need for America to join the few civilized nations of the world that provide total HEALTH CARE COVERAGE for all its citizens.
 
 
Initially, there was much confusion and SOA covered this new law during at least two radio and/or internet discussions, one with a Representative of the Massachusetts Executive Office Of Health and Human Services and the state's medicaid program called MASSHEALTH on Sunday August 19th, 1997 in the WRBB FM studios.
 
ALL EMPLOYERS in MASSACHUSETTS with 11 or more employees, were required under the law to have established by JULY 1, 2007, SECTION 125 HEALTH PLANS and offer health care coverage to their employees.

Section 125 is the section of the INTERNAL REVENUE CODE of 1986 which allows for pre-tax deductions by employers for health insurance.
Employees will have health insurance premiums deducted each pay period before tax. Employees can choose not to participate in their employer-sponsored plan but must get health insurance affordable to them before December 31st, 2007 or lose their personal exemption on their Massachusetts Tax return. For a single person, that translates to a loss of refund of about $219.00. For tax year 2008, the penalty can be as much as $912.00 and for 2009 ... $89.00 per month or $1,068.00 for those without health insurance.

Employers are also required to make a FAIR SHARE CONTRIBUTION toward the premiums for each employee that elects to participate in their SECTION 125 HEALTH PLAN, and though no set percentage is required, EMPLOYERS who DO NOT offer health insurance to their employees face a penalty or surcharge of $295.00 PER EMPLOYEE, PER YEAR, for every employee not covered by Health Insurance.

This 2007 law is ENFORCED through the
Massachusetts Department of Revenue and the Division of Unemployment Assistance. Among the information returns Massachusetts residents received in early 2008 for their 2007 Tax Returns is form 1099-HC which was needed for HEALTH INSURANCE informaton required to complete your return. A SCHEDULE HC with your subscriber information must accompany your MASSACHUSETTS FORM 1 or FORM 1-NR / PY tax return or a statement of indigence or to claim a religious exemption from the new health insurance mandate.

Again, the premiums deducted from employees by employers is based on pre-tax dollars, so there are savings to both the employer and the employee.  For More Information on the
NEW MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE LAW in MASSACHUSETTS, visit the
COMMONWEALTH CONNECTOR Authority.

For questions on tax benefits or consequences of Section 125 Cafeteria Plans and / or deductibility of your health insurance premiums on your state and federal tax returns for 2008 and beyond, ask your
TAX PREPARER or visit the MASSDOR and the IRS
