It's an acquired taste

I thought it was coomon knowledge. You cant go to jail for not paying your taxes. Its the tax fraud thing that gets ya.

You can literally just file every year and tell them what you made (be honest) and tell them you know you owe this much and then dont pay. That is not illegal. Then you go 10 years without paying a dime and do an offer and compromise for a couple grand.

That is why employers have to take your taxes out for you, otherwise no one would ever pay.

I think you are a mite wrong there. A certain Mr Capone was jailed because of tax evasion, note, not tax fraud. Tax evasion. Not paying the amount of tax he was supposed to have paid.

Although I wouldn't advice not paying the tax man ,I know someone who claims that they refused to do it and got away with it. I know the guy and he is not the type to bs or make up such things. So I give him the benefit of doubt fwiw. He is also well versed in the law.


He was threatened by the irs ,which he returned the threat to take him to court. They never did go after him in court and he never paid up. This was like 20 years ago and I don't remember all the details but I recall there was some consequences like not being able to get credit and he had to pay in cash for everything.

Maybe next time I see him I will ask the details? But if I recall correctly it did have to do with something along the lines the legality of it and loophole?

Ive been hearing all this "you dont have to pay taxes" crap for YEARS. And guess what? NO ONE has ever proved it to be true. NO ONE has ever been successful when trying it. NO ONE has ever won in a court over this. No matter how the law is interpreted no one has ever pulled this off. I believe buried in ATS is a long thread started by a guy who was going to court and trying this by way of the whole straw man thing, but guess what? He never finish posting in the thread when asked for proof.

During this time they can put a lien on everything you own. And they might be able to garnish wages.

I went ten years without filing income tax back in the '90's. When I finally filed the IRS guy asked me why I hadn't filed and I told him because I just didn't feel like it..

He looked at me funny but then just said okay.. No fines, no problems..

If someone gets sick of the IRS just take a permanent vacation from filing.. It is a choice.

Lets clarify this a bit. Not filing but still having money taken out of you check is one thing. The gov wont do much if you are getting a refund. You still paid, you just didnt file.

But NOT having money taken out of your check and not filing is something else. You didnt pay anything.
