IRS says it's OK if you fail to say you have insurance on return

The IRS may be the ogre of government but when it comes to enforcing its rules on Obamacare, it's positively puppyish. Millions of people who don't have insurance are having the penalty waived. They are going to trust that your coverage meets Obamacare mandates without checking. 

Now, if you fail to mark your return indicating that you have insurance, why that's perfectly alright with the IRS.

Washington Examiner:

The Internal Revenue Service told the Washington Examiner it will not penalize anyone who has insurance but neglected to check the box.

However, a taxpayer may be asked by the agency if they have health insurance if their return is flagged during a routine check.

"The IRS routinely follows-up on the accuracy and completeness of tax returns, and in this situation, taxpayers should be prepared to respond to correspondence," said Ubon Mendie, a spokesman for the IRS.

He added that taxpayers who already filed their returns don't need to amend the returns solely to indicate they neglected to check the box.

The clarification is an example of how much of the country will be affected by Obamacare this tax season.

Obamacare customers will have to fill out new forms detailing the plans they selected and how much they will receive in tax credits.

The Obama administration is also making a fervent, last-minute push to warn taxpayers about the pending Obamacare penalty.

RE: Picking and choosing what laws to enforce and NOT enforce.

Or as Obama calls it: Executive Discretion

Abolish the IRS]]

We need to write to Ted Cruz (and any other GOP candidate) and tell them that because the IRSD has become an entity unto itself, picking and choosing who it will target, that it should be abolished
