Just wondering if anyone has successfully gotten the American IRS to accept NHI as proof of health insurance to alleviate the ACA penalty for “not having health insurance”…? 
I just ticked the box or whatever saying I had health insurance. I was never asked for proof.
Has that always been the case for you? Asking here because when it first came out there was a paperwork mixup and we did exactly that and the IRS came back with the penalty and we had to jump through a bunch of paperwork hoops to get it cleared up.
Or perhaps they special-case folks residing outside the country? Do you also file the FEIC form 2555?
Probably. I’ve been reporting the same way since the ACA penalty went into effect.
Yes.
Marking this as the Solution for now, thanks so much! 
Hope you don’t get in trouble.
