Court Of Claims Requires Reimbursement To Insurance Company Despite No Appropriation
Having health care policy set by litigation is probably less than ideal. A project of the Trump administration was to be the repeal and replacement of Obamacare. By lucky coincidence, Fear by Bob Woodward popped into my Kindle this morning. I’ll be reading it today, but I could not resist checking for blog fodder on taxes, but nothing leaped out at me. Then I realized that there might be something on Obamacare. Doesn’t seem to be a lot. Apparently blame for failure to repeal and replace went to Reince Priebus
Statute Of Limitations Can Sometimes Hurt Taxpayers
More important though is the practical point. Just don’t cut it so close. Mr. Elizalde had three years. Why not on April 1 (or better March 15) file with return receipt? If the return receipt is not back in a week or so, take some action to trace the envelope and refile if necessary, Some of the blame for this falls on the media which refers to April 15, as modified for weekend and holidays, as Tax Day. At any rate, Mr. Elizalde might have had a very good reason for cutting it so fine. I just can’t dream one up. Just remember, the last possible day is not the best possible day when it comes to tax filing.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
