Like, if its collapsed, do I file? Do I even have to?
I am most certainly going to pay my state tax, but then what? What about stuff like my social security funds?
(I am asking for others because we’re at that point now I suppose)
Im not sure what you mean by we are at this point. The government will be collapsed to that level when it lacks the beuracracy and then you would not be getting the witholding done on your paycheck because there would be no system to do so. Alternatively if the government loses the capability of enforcing it that would let you get away with it. If the withholding is going on and if your not relatively rich, then odds are doing your taxes results in a refund.
Yes even if you are dead you have to file taxes
So that’s why it’s death and taxes, not taxes and death.
You are assuming you will still have a job, or that US dollars will still have value.
Always file. If the IRS collapses you paperwork means nothing. If it survives a collapse, having not filled will bite you in the ass.
if you think it’s all likely to fall apart soon, file asap if you’re expecting to get money back, but put it off as long as possible if you’re gonna have to pay them more. if the government is going down, might as well get your piece of it while you can.
The enclave will be expecting it, and the Frank they’re sending ain’t the one from Philadelphia
IRS has plans listed for an apocalyptic event (basically they need to continue tax collection within 48 hours), but they do work for the government. Without the government; you wouldn’t need to pay taxes; but it would be the least of your concerns.
I’m super excited to see it happen quickly that all the social security I paid in is going to be fucked off and maybe my fed taxes too… cause yay orange Hitler is now a dictator and no one can stop him
If the government collapses, you’re gunna have much worse things to worry about than taxes.
World peace?
Jokes aside, the IRS actually has contingency plans to continue collecting taxes in the event of an apocalypse, so yes probably.
You cannot escape the tax person.
They will come to you, either in suits, or in military uniforms. And they will collect what you legally owe to them.
(If the civillian government falls, the military will just take over and rule under martial law)
They won’t. This whole thing is undermining the IRS. They don’t have the manpower they won’t have the budget. Tax cuts for the rich also equals cuts to go after them. It’s a free for all now
They can’t go over the people with a 300 page tax return that uses past paper losses to cover any actual income. They already automated enforcement of w2 based income.
They don’t have the manpower to go after everyone, but you never need to.
You make an example out of 1.000 people nation wide, and most people wouldn’t dare to not pay.
And pay with what? Would the dollar still even exist?
They will weaponize the IRS against poor people and ignore the people committing big time tax fraud. Do with that information what you will.
I would love for the IRS go rogue and take out the mob boss at the top like the good old times.
Why bother? Money that’s sent will go to their defense efforts against our revolutionaries so if you’re on their side feel free. If not keep it and buy your own ammo for protection from invasion
Fellas don’t start getting stupid with your money because you’re scared. You can’t help others if you don’t help yourself first. Most likely the federal government will still be collecting taxes and you will still be fucked later
It’s a fine idea for a protest action however. Make a thing , get hundreds of people behind you before Going down this path. Even then probably A risky idea.
