A new form called the "1095-A" will allow the IRS to see how much was spent on insurance and what credits were given.
For a number of people that have not filed in years, they could now be required to in order to prove they complied with the Affordable Care Act.
If you did not purchase insurance last year and were required to, the first penalty will be accessed this year.
A penalty of $95 or 1 percent of your income, whichever is higher, is the charge for not complying.
