just don’t pay it, millions are doing that
you can not be taxed for not buying a product, that is against our constitution and it does not matter what those freaks in black robes think, they don’t write the laws either
I thought that you could avoid the penalty by making sure you don't get a refund.
You can avoid paying the penalty by arranging your withholding or quarterly prepayments such that there is no refund because according to the law as passed by congress, the fine can only be taken out of that refund. Arranging your tax payments that way is sensible even without the penalty. Why lend the government your money interest free ? And, given the parlous state of the economy you really can’t be confident that you will get that refund and not a government IOU. Other countries have done that.
Just so long as you owe them at the end of the year - they can't force you to pay it but they will steal it from your return if they owe you.
Thee law also says you are exempt if it is “too difficult” to obtain insurance.
Good one, lets just follow the actions of our POTUS, don't like the laws of the land that congress ( the peoples representatives) have passed? Use your pen and phone to not obey them, its fine the most powerful man in the world, the worlds enforcer of laws, ignores the ones he doesn't like, so should we.
