Anything that can be tied to an hourly wage rate, preferrably shown on paystub as “labor rate” is clear exchange of labor hours for “labor capital”. So if you enter work time in hours, despite being paid salary, then clearly labor capital.
Even salaries typically use ~2000 hours to calculate “wage rate” for pay.
IRS only has jurisdiction over direct taxation of “income” for 1. Jobs performed on Federal Lands, 2. Jobs listed on Fed employees, 3. Jobs performed on Federal Excise Tax List (most not on it); Due to structure of Republic IRS cannot tax state citizens directly except through Excise Tax List on occupations. SCOTUS has confirmed in several cases the above. “Income Tax” to IRS is voluntary AND an excise tax. If you not in above 3 categories, claim “labor capital” on W-2 correction form and submit 1040-X for payroll tax refund. Note IRS is slow walking requests now, and appears to have no money.
I still pay “income tax” on capital gains while I get payroll taxes back. Going for 100% refund going back to very first paycheck.
