VA, Affordable Care Act and You
What is the Affordable Care Act?
The Affordable Care Act, also known as the health care law, was created to expand access to coverage, control health care costs and improve health care quality and care coordination. The health care law does not change VA health benefits or Veterans’ out-of-pocket costs.
Three things you should know:
1 VA wants all Veterans to receive health care that improves their health and well-being.
2 If you are enrolled in VA health care, you don’t need to take additional steps to meet the health care law coverage standards. The health care law does not change VA health benefits or Veterans’ out-of-pocket costs.
3 If you are not enrolled in VA health care, you can apply at any time.

What the hell.....???????????????????
I just go to TurboTax and let them do the math.
Easy; cheap; no hassle; email filings for both state and feds. Nothin’ to it.
Yep, HELL is where it came from.
.
Just trying to make sense of the examples is making me cross-eyed and weary.

The EXEMPT in Congress, their staff, their families,
and all Moslems can ignore this new TAX for American
dhimmis/sheeple.
All those Lefties who are so smugly happy with their Obamacare, heavily subsidized ..... well folks, here’s what YOU get to fill out if you got a subsidy .... looks like fun!:

I use Turbo also, but I’m afraid computers have really been an enabling device for the FedGov continue to make the tax code mind numbingly complex.
I am my household ..!!
BUMP! BUMP! BUMP!
I very much doubt that TurboTax implements this particular part of the tax scheme.
The IRS hired 15,000 attorneys and accountants for this.
So no surprise here.
To paraphrase the song:
Players play
Coaches coach
Accountants calculate
Lawyers write paragraphs of regulations
There is no "either or" to choose from - it appears to show all numbers added together, not the lesser of any of three choices
How do you know that .. have you heard from them ..??
I’ve used them for years, and they always seem to be ahead of the curve.
But .. I don’t give a rip what you use.
In fact, everyone should just file/demand an immediate filing extension.
The USSC has hinted they won't decide to decide untill June 2015, on the tax subsidies and schedules for 2014.
Hopefully, most people here don't use the IRS as their savings account, and don't anticipate/expect a large tax refund from the Feds.
Actually, it is proper to use "and" in this case. Here, "and" does not have the meaning "plus."
Think: "The richest of the following four brothers: Ted, Fred, Steve, and Bill."
However, I assert that the word "lesser" is wrong, and should be "least."
