There are two options (1) The first flyer (click here) is a single sheet of paper that you can print and hold at a protest. Passersby can scan the QR code to get to the website. (2) The second flyer (click here) is the same as the first, but shrinks the first flyer so that the same image appears twice on the same page.

Controlling Federal Income Tax Withholding with W-4 Resistance
Note: The IRS released a new withholding form in 2020 to adjust for the tax overhaul legislation passed at the end of 2017. If you have previously practiced W-4 withholding, you will find the new form very different. Use our formula on this flyer, or in Practical #1: Controlling Federal Income Tax Withholding, to see if your withholding is at a level that works for your resistance style; if not, you can change your W-4 anytime.
