That contradicts what has been promoted earlier in this thread. I thought it was "voluntary" as long as you bought untaxed necessities and kept your spending below the FCA (Family Consumption Allowance) limit.

Ah... but here's the catch. Illegals aren't eligible for the FCA, since they aren't legal residents. Their effective rate is equal to the marginal rate because they get no FCA. Meanwhile, a legal resident who doesn't spend all that much has a near-zero effective federal tax rate.

I think that's a good thing. Don't you?

The amount of information I have to report to the feds keeps expanding. First it was just my current location, address, and family size. Now you are saying I have to prove my immigration status too? How am I supposed to do that? National ID card? Internal passport?
