Almost 7 years ago, I caught California's income tax agency running an embezzlement and racketeering scheme. I have been trying to get it stopped since then. In my efforts to stop it, I have uncovered 7 more schemes to overcharge taxpayers. I have always paid my taxes and prior to catching the scheme, never doubted that income taxes are legit: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=611

Because I have been fighting corruption at an income tax agency, a lot of people have contacted me about their problems with the IRS (which I know nothing about). I am hearing a lot of stories like yours where the IRS is claiming people owe money when they really don't. It seems like the government is desperate to collect funds so they are just sending out collection notices to everyone.

A lot of people have also sent me info about the income tax being illegal. I am now convinced they are illegal. Since they don't have the rule of law on their side, they force compliance with a big stick. You are right that if we all stop paying our taxes that they can't go after us all, but it will likely be tough to find a big enough group to push back. Some of the group will surely be sacrificial lambs for the rest, and no one wants to roll the dice that they'll be the lamb.

In my case, CA was demanding that I send extra money that the agency knew -- by their own records -- was not owed. They'd embezzled my money and wanted me to send them more. The beat down was so hard that I sent tens of thousands of dollars more than I should have just to get them to leave me alone... and then they embezzled that money and beat me down for even more money...

I will not ever stop fighting to stop the corruption of the extra taxes being charged above the properly assessed amount, but I also am not willing to battle the issue of whether or not the properly assessed amount is legal.
