Doesn’t have the paper work reduction act notice on it.....................
I did a Google search on 0care and found an analysis on it. Nowhere are the individual taxpayers to file a separate form. The employers are the ones to do it.
OK the document was published on 2 July 2012 by the Congressional Research service, written by Janemarie Mulvey and Hinda Chaikind; title is “Individual Mandate and Related Information Requirements under ACA”
Thanks 92nina.
Thanks for the ping.
I wonder if Tricare For Life is a qualifying plan.
It should be as it is a federal government plan and retirees have to pay for it.
Thanks. I agree that it should be, but I don’t know what the law says.
I think it’s the group’s estimate of what the form would be if a second term Obama’s IRS got around to it. Watermark says it’s not an IRS form.
Since not having health insurance is now a crime/misdemeanor thanks to that terrible Chief Justice, wouldn't forcing people to sign an IRS form under penalty of perjury count as a violation of the 5th Amendment's prohibition against forcing people to be a witness against themselves?
Isn't this forcing people to provide a sworn testimony against themselves that can later be used to prosecute a penalty against themselves unconstitutional? Or does the administration argue that this violation isn't a criminal case, and therefore people can be forced to witness against themselves?
With respect to your comment about civil disobedience, if a significant portion of the population refused to cooperate and fill out the IRS form, it would effectively nullify the unconstitutional decision of the Supreme Court on this "tax", because I don't think the government has the resources to come after, nor wants to come after say 30 million people. Therefore, in the event of mass civil disobedience, the government would likely either have to change the form or repeal the law.
