They still can’t make you pay those penalties and taxes if you do not send the money ahead of time. If you miscalculate and overpay a couple of hundred dollars well, then, you lose the couple of hundred. You just have to assume that all of the money you send to Washington belongs to Washington- no refunds.
People can (and should) defer the “penalties” by adjusting down withholdings and if anything owing the fed a little something. But that will only work until they change the law. Which of course they’re going to do.
What a catastrophe. Every bit as bad as we all knew it would be, exactly as our side predicted. Same outcome extends to all such policy debates in due course, a time-proved truism the media works tirelessly, scrupulously, to obscure from the masses.
