Now that the Supreme Court has decided that ObamaCares mandate to buy health insurance is a tax, will the IRS be able to collect it?
Generally speaking, if you owe the IRS, it will get the money from youwith the possible exception of the ObamaCare tax. Though ObamaCares individual mandate imposes a tax on people who do not purchase government-approved health insurance, the law explicitly neuters the IRSs ability to collect the tax.
Bizarre? Yes. And it matters. If policymakers expect uninsured young people to buy health insurance when it is even more expensive than it is today, the threat of serious consequences for not doing so must be real. Yes, the threat that the IRS might come after you if you do not do what you are told looks real at first glance. But Democratic politicians, fearing public backlash for making the mandate too intrusive, pulled its teeth.

I think it's fair to assume that Obamacare will be a "full employment" program for attorneys.
Nice blueprint for avoiding the fine. Send the link to this article to everyone you know.
Alinsky isn’t the only one who can collapse the system.
Read the article.
“What about alllll the people who do not file a tax return. Can they just slip through the cracks?”
Yes. Robertson said this was a type of income tax. If you don’t have to file, you don’t have to pay the fine. Period.
Very interesting article. I was not aware of the practical inability to enforce the mandate.
Thanks for posting. You done good.
“The IRS will see to it that they get the money one way or another.”
Actually they won’t. This article is accurate. The only way for the IRS to collect the penalty is to take it out of your tax refund. If you don’t have a refund coming they are SOL in the USSA.
Ping-a-ling. Worth the read.
I need to read this, bump.
This is a very interesting article that you might want to review if you're going to be under the owebamacare mandate this coming year.
The time will come, and it’s not too far off, that “party members” will get the special treatment. Just like the Soviet Union.
You know full well that, with the way these fascists are utilizing the security agencies, they know what party your voter registration says.
Jobs, advancement, special treatment, medical care, Obama care subsidies and penalties, all will be subtly linked to your party affiliation.
It wasn’t designed to work. It was designed to collapse on itself. Then they can justify taking over health-care entirely, single payer system, the US government, i.e. you and me taxpayer, our income tax will “necessarily skyrocket”.
Please add me to your pinglist.

When you do your taxes you will have to show proof of insurance and if you do not I am sure the form will say please remit payment for the penalty just as you would if you owe taxes when you do your return which you have to pay or they will come after you and I suppose they could garnish your wages. I am sure they have it well thought out.
Sounds like I need to figure out which category will fit best ;-)
Naaah. I gave up the sacrifice requirement when it came to my attention that there was a shortage of livestock in NYC. These days you just have to tolerate my extremely poor pinglist administration.
I just added you. Hope you find it useful. Search the keyword “survivingsocialism” for previous pings/articles.
Its the IRS. One way or another, you will pay.

As far as the IRS goes not paying taxes is one thing. Lying on your tax return to avoid taxes takes you into a whole new ballgame.

I read the article. IF this is true then everyone can just ignore Obamacare and go on with their lives. I don’t believe the article. I think it an author who is wishful that this will happen. The way the article sounds takes the evil out of Obamacare. I think these articles will come out to make us feel good about Obamacare.
