Take Action: Stop Obamacare Taxes Now! 

79% of Households Hit With Obamacare Mandate Tax Make Less Than $50,000

The Senate’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act repeals Obamacare’s individual mandate tax penalty. Repeal of the Obamacare individual mandate tax penalty gives further tax relief to middle class families. Repeal also ensures that the Senate’s Tax Cuts And Jobs Act allows permanent tax reduction for families and businesses in the form of a permanent, 20 percent corporate rate and a $2,000 child tax credit.

Official IRS data for tax year 2015 compiled by the office of Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) indicates that low income Americans shoulder the burden of this tax:

  • In tax year 2015 — 6,665,480 households paid a total of $3,079,255,000 in individual mandate tax penalties
     
  • 79% have a yearly income of less than $50,000
     
  • 37% have a yearly income of less than $25,000
