Nothing will happen to you if you don’t pay the fine.
RE: Nothing will happen to you if you dont pay the fine.
Per Justice John Roberts, It’s not called a fine, it’s a TAX.
Won’t the IRS garnish your wages?
just check the box that says you are black. no penalty for you. yes it is so
That will depend on your political, cultural and racial affiliations.
Yes, because the IRS never vaccums out bank account, levies tax liens on property or putpeople in cages for not paying them money they say someone owes to them.
No. In fact the laws states that the IRS can neither garnish your wages nor put a lien on you.
RE: No. In fact the laws states that the IRS can neither garnish your wages nor put a lien on you.
So, how the heck are they going to enforce this stupid law?
The IRS will withhold your refund but I don’t believe the law allows garnishment or other tactics. This could change.
I think that millions will choose not to sign up for Obamacare.
I also don’t know, but have wondered, how will the IRS enforce Obamacare, administer the fines, etc. for the 47% of people who don’t pay federal income tax? I know that some of that 47% still file income tax returns, but suppose you don’t file tax returns at all? Would you be in the IRS database in the first place, in order for them to levy the fine? What about all these people who work under the table?
The enforcement through the IRS makes a certain amount of sense if you can assume that everyone files income tax returns, but doesn’t make sense considering that huge numbers aren’t required to file.
Does anybody know if those who don’t pay taxes are now required to file a return?
RE: but suppose you dont file tax returns at all?
Well, the IRS is supposed to go after you, right?
That’s what got Wesley Snipes in prison.
so if someone doesn’t receive a refund, then IRS can’t do anything?
The problem is that we all tend to leave it to other people to boycott the system.

You are correct my friend. The IRS cannot change the law, only Congress can do this.
The penalty is non-existent for someone with a low income. So for those who aren’t required to file the whole thing is a non-issue, generally.
OK, Next time someone t-bones me at an intersection I’ll tell the medics to put away the plasma bags and the spine splints, that I am participating in the boycott.
What is the low income cut-off?
As I understand it, the only way the IRS can collect the fine is to withhold it from your tax refund. Adjust your W4 accordingly and you’ll never pay the fine.
