Refresh my knowledge base. Where does it say in the constitution that the federal government can tax you for not buying a product that fits their specifications?
I guess the next step is to force everybody to buy an electric car next year, or face a $100,000 fine.
Just for your information, the "land of the free" is the only country in the world that forces its citizens to purchase a particular service or be fined.
If you don’t have a refund coming for that tax year, then crumple up that IRS letter and throw it away.
The IRS does not have the power “... the text of the ACA is very clear in stating that taxpayers who don’t pay their ACA penalty are not subject to levies, liens, or criminal prosecution.
The only way that the IRS can collect the ACA penalty is if you pay it voluntarily, or if you’re owed a refund. In the latter case, the IRS deducts the penalty from your refund.”
