IRS warns: Don’t try to avoid ObamaCare mandate:

The Internal Revenue Service warned employers in a new regulatory proposal not to come up with clever schemes to avoid ObamaCare’s employer health insurance mandateā€¦

The IRS said it would issue a so-called “anti-abuse rule” in an attempt to prevent employers from using temp agencies to circumvent the mandate, essentially writing into law that even though an employer hires temporary workers and therefore is not technically under the mandate’s jurisdiction, the IRS would fine them anyway for not providing health insurance.

    This is a little misleading. What the IRS release actually says is that some employers are hiring part-timers, and then assigning them a second part-time shift, at the same company, through a staffing agency.

    The ever-reaching arm of the federal government will find a way to collect its money!

    I’m invoking Godwin’s Law on this one John. Disgusting.

    One way or another they will find their money. No questions asked! Even if it means regulating more regulations…if that makes sense. Argh..

    I thought the IRS said it was not the ObamaCare inforcer?

    I doubt the IRS can keep pace. They are struggling with keeping track of people who have overdue library books.
