I dont know i saw this whole movie called freedom to facism with these old irs agents that all got fired because they found out it was illegal what they were doing.
the movie claims that 67 million ameircans dont pay, but again the IRS doesnt seem to follow any rules so they just do whatever they want and will break your door down and force you to pay it. also some businesses have said publicly they dont pay it
i didnt give him bad advice i just tried to tell him the truth and that if he doesnt pay he better dam well sure he knows what hes doing and a tax lawyer or something that has dealt with this before.
so ya you should pay it, not because its a law, not because your being a good citizen, but simply because the IRS are like a bunch of Thugs or kind of like a mafia and if you dont pay the go after you like a gang or mafia until you pay.
again pay it unless you have a tax lawyer or something that has dealt with it and knows what hes doing.
