I suggest everyone that feels it's illegal to not file your returns.

The 16th Amendment to the US Constitution posted:

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

Which was never ratified by the states fully and was ruled by the Supreme Court to give Congress NO NEW TAXATION POWERS.

36 states (which is all that's required) ratified it before it became law. 8 more joined suit afterwords.

Every single case that has been brought along these lines has been dismissed as frivolous.

It's completely legal. Your opinion doesn't matter.

It is not "technically legal" but nobody with any authority over the process cares to challenge it. Despite what Tal says. I, though, Am prohibited from speaking about the details on the OP.

There IS no law requiring the average US citizen to pay income taxes.

Best film on the topic. A topic I championed for years before this movie was made.
