So paying tax is voluntary? I thought they would audit you if you don't pay taxes and fine you etc?Filing of tax forms is mandatory if the sources or amounts of your income require it under IRS provisions (many of those who do not think so have found out different in front of a judge). Interestingly, however, you cannot be compelled to give testimony against yourself. Tax forms signed and submitted by you are considered testimony, not evidence, should you ever be brought to trial based on your filings. Therefore, if you have income (especially income from possibly illegal sources) you do not wish to declare you are legally empowered to assert you 5th Amendment privilege on your filing. (The IRS can still assess you taxes on those amounts you shield under the 5th, if they can figure out what and how much they are).
Maybe I'm missing something?
