“[F]or the first time this fall, we will conduct outreach to individuals and families who paid the fee for being uninsured, or claimed an exemption from that fee, for 2015.”

So the IRS is also contacting the people who paid the Obamacare penalty.

But those people are in full compliance with the law. They had the option of not taking Obamacare, in exchange for paying the penalty. It's their free choice.

The IRS has no business telling them what legal tax option to exercise. It'd be like the IRS seeing a capital loss on your tax return, and then sending you a letter with stock market advice.

Instead of computing and paying quarterly taxes on my business income, I used to just pay the penalty for failing to do so. At the time, the time/hassle/expense far outweighed the penalty - so I just paid them annually - until the IRS substantially increased the penalty for not doing so.

Whomever came up with the saying, "you can't get blood out of a turnip", never had to deal with the IRS...

“The IRS has no business telling them what legal tax option to exercise. “

Exactly! This makes me livid because the regime is using their SS to intimidate people.
