Filling the paperwork justifying how much you owe is voluntary.
Paying the amount you legally owe isn’t.

You can "volunteer" to pay taxes, or you can "volunteer" to have everything you own taken away, experience harassment and threats, and go to prison.

Sounds like a win-win.

It does ?

That would be news to my employer.

I guess I can asked to be paid under a 1099 and be responsible to pay my own taxes.

I'd see how long the IRS will wait to fine me, put liens on my property and generally hound me until I pay.

The US has a voluntary tax system.

On Page 1 of Every 1040 booklet printed up until the mid to late 80’s it was explained that we had a “Tax system of Voluntary Compliance” it didn’t really go in to details about refusing to Volunteer, but it could be rather harsh for those that Refuse to Volunteer.
