As the law stands right now, the only way the IRS can enforce nonpayment of the penalty is to take it out of any refund you may get. No other way. Not a lien on your home or taking it from your bank account. Not jail either. Unless of course...the dictator changes the law again with his pen and his phone.
Trust me I won’t get a refund. I’m a white, Christian male that pays taxes for the takers and the 1 %’ers who use excessive deductions to almost pay none.
And they can’t take it out of social security payments?
Only the voluntary withholdings from social security, which would not “pay” the fine.
This is a subject of great concern. Knowledge of it allows for civil disobedience to an illegal tax.
At the end of the form it will show total tax owed. The O care part will not be differentiated. It will make for some strange accounting practices to backtrack and figure out which part they can’t penalize. Because I bet there won’t be aline at the end of the form which states “This part can’t be penalized”.
