Dealing With Obamacare Tax Credits and Penalties (Day 7)
To be honest with you, I hate politics in general. I hate all types of politics from Washington, DC to bullshit fantasy football league politics. Therefore, lets call the Obamacare Act by its real name which is The Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act contains comprehensive health insurance reforms and includes tax provisions that affect individuals, families, businesses, insurers, tax-exempt organizations and government entities. As with all Acts passed by Congress, there will be winners and losers. I will not use this blog post to discuss my personal view on the Act or Congress. This post will discuss how to best deal the Affordable Care Act. I will share with you the ultimate cheat list. Not in as cheat the government but cheat to find the answers quicker. I'm not trying to go to jail for you! However, if you are too lazy, not even the cheat list will help you. If too lazy, just hire an tax professional to do the research for you. I'm not here to judge. No matter what decision you make, please learn the basics of the Affordable Care Act.
