What Tax Software Do You Use?
r_jensen11 asks: "I know this topic has been asked at least once before, but seeing as how 6 years have passed, I figured the question is due again. It's about that time of the year again when we find out how much we owe Uncle Sam (or as in my case, how much Uncle Sam owes me). Software has changed drastically in the past 6 years, since the previous query I found on Slashdot, as well as many tax rules. Does anyone here use tax software other than TurboTax and TaxCut? I know that there are also online forms I can fill out, but which ones are accessible to people that use OSes other than Windows and Mac OS X? I'd preferably use a program that I can use off-line and store my information locally instead of using eforms, but if I have to resort to eforms, which ones should I investigate and which ones should I stay far away from?"
Federal income tax is unconstitutional, and illegal. The Federal income tax that was introduced in 1913 was struck down by the Supreme Court on multiple occasions, as it is neither a direct or indirect tax as set out in the Constitution. The only entities that should pay income tax are businesses, but somehow the wealthy bankers that own the Federal Reserve Bank (yes that's right, its a privately held bank) have managed to ignore that for almost the last hundred years. There is no federal law anywhere that requires you to pay income tax to the government.
In fact, 100% of federal income tax goes straight to paying interest on lonas to the government from the Federal Reserve Bank. It does not go to public services, it does not go to education or maintaining roads or anything else. It goes into the pockets of the already disgustingly rich owners of America.
Simple solution: just stop paying it. If the IRS takes you to court, simply point out that the IRS tax code is not based on or empowered by any law. After all, for you to be committing a crime, you have to be breaking a law.
There is a very badly made film that raises some very interesting points along those lines called America: Freedom to Fascism. There are also many other sources of information readily available on the web, both for and against this argument. I am not a tax expert/law expert/terribly intelligent individual, but this is all very interesting if true.
