As we near tax day, I’m questioning whether to send my payment to the DOGE infected federal government. At this point, it feels like it’s time to rally and resist #notaxationwithoutrepresentation

Over 40+ years in tax practice, with a personal interest in tax policy and ethics, I’ve never seen anything like the force of the thoughts expressed now.
Not filing has more serious consequence than not paying. I filed, but will only pay my (blue) state taxes. IRS will eventually send me a notice and a penalty. Then I'll decide what to do next. PS I've paid taxes every year for 50 years.
I want to see what they’re doing with social security. Bcz if they plan on gutting something I’ve been paying into since 16 somebody OWES ME MONEY! They can charge the tax we owe to that!
Oddly enough, you still have to pay by April 15, the extension is just longer to file the return. Which begs the question, how do you know what you owe if your return isn't complete?
So we already sent them the cash
do they get to use it
before or after the extension
Does it even matter

Our tax money, as most know, funds ICE's illegal actions as well as many, if not all, nefarious elements under Project 2025. I question whether sending my payment is morally right.
No money should be leaving the States for the Fed. There is nothing that will ever come from that except them handing every dime to some billionaire or Trump!
If enough of us just don’t send in our tax returns, I don’t think there are enough IRS employees left to even notice. If you get notified that your taxes have not been received, tell them you sent your returns through the mail, and they probably got lost somewhere in Postmaster DeJoy’s office.
In case people don't know, of you OWE, you don't need to pay on the 15th. You have to file, but you don't have to pay. You can wait for the government to bill you. I've been doing it for years. Let them come find you.
Yes, and you can go ahead and pay it when they bill you. Pay in full or set up payments with interest. But they won't penalize you because you filed on time. It just takes weeks for them to bill you and now? Who knows how long?
I just did my civic duty as painful as it is knowing what we know but - at least I can look Sissy SpaceX in the face and say “at least I pay my taxes” and hope they go to what little investment the Feds still make in America.
I've been having the same feelings myself. Today, Whoopie was saying it is us who are going to need to take care of our schools, food pantries, libraries, etc. My take is why are we giving our hard earned $ to DC to pay for golf and fat billionaire tax cuts. Maybe we should be keeping it in state.
Agreed. I know of people in the past who for whatever reasons stopped filing taxes and put the money in an account for the day they got caught and would need to pay fines and penalties as well. If we hadn’t already filed this year, we would seriously consider. Plus, they have gutted the IRS.
We are paying into a gov which is pulling the rug out frm under the people, none of us should finance our own destruction, and the destruction of our Democracy by fake President Assolini. I thing we should start a movement to not pay federal income taxes. What are they going to do arrest us all?
I already paid mine. Not sure what the $$ will go for since most of the gov't agencies no longer exist or have employees. Is there a royal-DOGE slush fund?
They've gutted the irs so there really is no one to enforce rules .... Against the rich! They'll come after you though for sure. But it is a real concern, I agree.
I am questioning what our/my money is going for? I and we all pay the government in good faith to provide services to the people, all people. I don’t see that happening any longer…
I'm setting up a payment plan forever lol I heard you can get with a tax attorney and put your tax payment in an escrow and not pay but idk about that yet
I love the idea of everyone not paying their federal taxes in protest. He will just use the money to bludgeon states and universities into bending the knee. This is one corrupt administration.

i'd rather send it to my state, but a lot of things would have to happen first

Isn’t the GOP about state’s rights? That’s where my tax $ should go.
