California Health Insurance Penalty
I got married in June of 2022 and have had health insurance through my employer all last year. However my wife didn't have health insurance until she got added to mine in july of 2022 as she was unemployed. We are filing jointly for 2022, previously she wouldn't have had to pay a penalty as she fell under the income threshold but now our joint household income is well above the limit due to my income and it seems we have to pay a sizable penalty for her not having health insurance before we got married even though her income at that time was under the limit. Is there any way to get around that penalty or are we stuck since we are filing jointly?
