easilyunamused...was it 3 full months? Like jan-march? Or did you have coverage for 1 day in the 3 months? Like Jan 1st or March 31? (it is supposed to be that way to help when people are moving and having new jobs and waiting for new insurance to kick in) Also, various hardship exceptions...

Eta : I had coverage, but had a gap of more than three months. You can claim the “short coverage gap exemption” CODE “B”. This only applies to the first gap in coverage of the year. If you got covered during open enrollment, don’t forget to take that exemption as well.

This would at least cut down on the penalty by a couple months

Farrah is seriously the worst

I'm glad that liquor isn't sold in grocery stores. I'd be broke.

I find the liquor law that catches me off guard the most is that liquor stores have to stop selling at 6pm on Sunday...and sometimes I just don't want Sunday fun day to end y'all.

It was April-June. And no, unfortunately not one day was covered. I appreciate your help though. I entered in a few different exemptions and played around a lot with my taxes. I did the affordability worksheet and we made too much to say that it wasn't affordable. Even though we didn't have that income coming in while I had that gap.

Somehow I lost an oven mitt while cooking dinner. It just disappeared after I checked on the bacon (we had breakfast for dinner). I checked the important places, you know, the oven, the trash, the drawer where it's usually stored in case I put it back. I have no idea where it went. Luckily we have another one but I'm hoping it turns up somewhere.

Dishwasher? Fridge? In plain sight? Good luck!

easilyunamused how I read and understand it you should be able to claim an exception for April and May but have to they pay a penalty for just the month of June. You are filing that you had coverage for part of the year-righ? If your whole penalty is $1200 if you had no coverage for yearthen it would be only $100 per month. Also based on taxable income not gross income.

So I guess I will have to seek out a tax preparer because when I enter in my healthcare info with the exemptions my refund goes from around $1300 to $400. Somethings not right, and I've been doing my own taxes for years and never have had an issue like this. I appreciate you taking the time to work through this with me:)

Really? I could've swore I used to see wine or something in the CVS by my old workplace (in white plains) but maybe I'm not remembering correctly (?)

NY-
Beer in grocery stores.
Wine and Liquor at the liquor store.

Ok I'm just glad I'm not losing my mind, there's def CVS in NY selling wine on here.

And Florida too I'm confused, I know I saw liquor being sold in Walgreens in South Beach. If you google Walgreens South Beach Full Liquor Dept the results will come up.

Guys this is very important information ;-)

Sorry for the late LT and thank you! I haven't figured out to get notifications on Tapatalk!?!

kleigh, this IS very important and we must get to the bottom of it. I had to do some digging around since I haven't actually lived in NY since 2008 and thought maybe I had missed something.

So Vineyard Creek makes "wine products" (you'll see that on their label on their website), which ARE allowed to be sold in grocery/drug stores. I think a wine product is wine with sugar and juice and other stuffed added to it, but they are packaged to look just like wine.

Governor Paterson tried passing a law to allow supermarkets to sell wine but it didn't fly, because there was so much opposition from liquor/wine stores (and there are a lot of those in NY).

Oh wise one, thank you PirateCat !!!!!!!
