If I'm unemployed, do I have to pay the fee?
What happens if I don't pay the fee?
The IRS will hold back the amount of the fee from any future tax refunds. There are no liens, levies, or criminal penalties for failing to pay the fee.

No liens or levies can be filed on the individual mandate penalty, however the IRS can collect more ways than just from your refund. A lot of interest can accrue before your estate is settled. They would subtract your liability from any tax credits, payments toward other taxes owed, estate settlement, etc. You know what they say about death and taxes...
