Once I didn't file taxes for 7 years. I needed to show that I did for a sales job. I went to an IRS service center in Hampton, Virginia. Oddly enough the place was empty. 5 employees and me. I walked in and boldly started: "I need a friend in the IRS." Everyone laughed.
I was able to get my taxes done in 20 minutes. I actually got a thousand dollar refund. I was told that 5 years was the limit to my back taxes refund otherwise I would have had more. This was 2002.
In 2020 I stopped filling my taxes again because the government tried to kill me and my family. I'm not looking at the good old days anymore.
When it's easier to get federal money than it is to run a business we've lost. I'm not going to lose. We don't need to pay income taxes. It's a scam. Sure when I get Job they confiscate my wages before I get them. Why?
If you think the IRS is a normal institution then you are experiencing Stockholm Syndrome.
