When did weekends go from, "Drink a lot and party", to "Do our taxes and edge the driveway"?
@kdfrawg I just hope I get more of a heads up before massive changes are made to the law. I don't need a late nights rushing changes in a payroll module.
@kdfrawg Apparently, the IRS was totally silent on the change until very recently.
@kdfrawg …a down side to my, "If you discuss politics with me, I am throwing you out of my office/ignoring you on social media" policy, I guess.
@kdfrawg That was my first reaction. I'm not a CPA but I do write and support accounting software. Normally this stuff doesn't slip under my radar like that.

…The ACA requirement to pay is still on the books but the IRS has absolutely no power to enforce it.
At this point, it's akin to laws claiming you can beat your wife with a stick of a certain diameter.

Looking into it more..Apparently there was an executive order to the effect of "Do not enforce the penalty"
"Failure to tick the box (61) could have, in past years, resulted in a kickback of the tax return. However, the IRS has indicated that for 2017, it will accept and process tax returns where a taxpayer is silent on coverage."

If this existed last year I was unaware of it as our now ex-accountant did our taxes.
There's a flat-out "I decline" to the ACA stuff with no penalty?
That's surprising.
