    Seems to me that people in the US should be starting a campaign to convince people not to submit federal taxes this year. What are the 100k or so IRS agents going to do when 170m people don’t pay?

      That’s another thing that people don’t realize. Taxes are usually automatically deducted from a person’s paycheck and paid to the state and fed by the employer.

      Most people’s taxes for 2025 are already paid.

      One would have to get their employer to not do the deductions (something a lot of “sovereign citizens” try) and often it’s not possible to do.
