To avoid penalty, obtain health insurance coverage

If you don't have health coverage this year, and you don't qualify for an exemption, you'll face a penalty on your Rhode Island tax return in 2021. To learn about your health insurance options, see the website of Rhode Island's official health insurance marketplace: HealthSourceRI.com.

Rhode Island's health insurance mandate took effect on January 1, 2020. To learn more about the mandate and how it may apply to you, see the Rhode Island Division of Taxation's webpage on the mandate by clicking here. Also see answers to frequently asked questions by clicking here
