Assistance with Health Insurance Exchanges
March 31st will be the final deadline for individuals to begin the process of enrolling for health insurance through the newly launched Health Insurance Marketplaces, also known as Health Insurance Exchanges. Individuals are required to obtain a health insurance plan, or face penalties on their 2014 federal taxes.
