Will the airline have me sign the paperwork at HAV before boarding? Will US immigration give me a hard time?

Also, I understand that the 1of12 is a mere formality. How likely is it that they will check whether my reason is a valid one?

The airline most likely will ask you to declare your reason for having traveled to Cuba.

"How likely is it that "they" will check....
They who?
OFAC has not checked in decades (if there even was a way to check), and CBP may ask on entry where you were and why, but it's not their job/right to do any more.
