<prompt> Human: From what I can tell its a box you check on your form, the IRS cant possibly check each applicant to see if they had coverage? Im in a situation where I had made just over the poverty line 12,000, and I was out of work for about 8 months of the year. I dont auto qualify for the exemption and the healthcare site wont let me edit my 2014 application to show what my shared cost was.Of course, during the year I didnt know Id be unemployed for so long and my out of pocket costs were coming from my 2013 tax return in which I reported 27000 in income, so I never applied during the year. If I just say I had coverage or that I auto-qualify due to poverty, can it come back to bite me in the ass?  <response>: You get audited and they ask for proof. Boom.
