Despite POTUS' reversal of the mandate, R.I. penalty about to kick in for those without health insurance.

"Starting Jan. 1, residents who do not have health insurance for themselves, their spouses and their children will pay a tax penalty. More specifically: 'If you (or your dependents) do not have health coverage during the 2020 calendar year, a penalty will be assessed through the Rhode Island personal income tax return that you file in early 2021.'

The penalty will be 2.5 % of household income or $695 per adult and $347.50 for each child under the age of 18, whichever amount is higher."
