    I predict a lot of people are going to just not file taxes, and I expect the IRS won’t have the resources to do anything about it.

          I mean, the point now is just the end of your comment

          pay a corporation

          The super rich are trying to collapse governments and turn society into religio-corpo-city-states where they can be neofeudalist kings where their family line maintains through history no matter how technology changes. No different than kingdoms of the past where it’s mostly suffering combined with war, except they’ve convinced crypto bros and other idiots that they’d be knights in this system and are spending boatloads of money to achieve their goals.

      Unfortunately what’s been shown in the past is the less resources the IRS has, the more likely they are to just go after the smallest issues, they can automate and garnish wages on people who don’t have the resources to fight it. Then they just avoid the rich because they don’t have the resources to go up against well paid tax attorneys

      If you don’t have vehicles to manipulate your assets like the rich, they will need only glance at your papers to see the mistake. The IRS loses money hiring auditors and experts to understand if a business is a business or a charity a charity, those are the common tricks the rich use.

      You aren’t going to hide what your employer paid to you and how much tax you paid the IRS. Even putting in your IRA or house deductible is easy to automate and thus easy to check.

      Cash app has free filing though, would recommend.
