The range of incomes for which no 'shared responsibility payment' is due because the ACA-compliant plans available are deemed unaffordable according to the law's own definition of affordability is expanding with each passing year. The exact income range depends upon your location. For those of us whose self-employment incomes vary widely from one year to the next due to factors out of our control, trying to factor the Obamacare tax into financial planning is dang-near impossible. If I have to pay it for 2017; well, tough luck.
