Dear IRS |
First-time Resister or Wanna-Be Resister
Mad about the Border Wall?
Nervous but will resist? Choose a small amount for your first year of resistance. $10.40?
Gather together a few others and form a War Tax Resistance Affinity Group for resistance and support.
Template letter to the IRS — anyone can send a protest letter. Print and fill in the PDF or download the rtf file and make it your own.
File on paper and mail your forms in. Avoid e-file and gum up the system a bit (perfectly legal).
Attend a local or regional workshop about war tax resistance.
Fill out this form to request a presentation or workshop (anytime!).
Anyone can use the Peace Tax Return.
Participate in the flip side of resistance:
Redirect your taxes with the Collective Redirection 2020
Consider starting a local Alternative Fund to pool together resisted war taxes.
Be a Public Resister
Add your name to the War Tax Boycott.
Already paid but want to be able to resist next year?
Salaried employees: if you are getting a refund or didn’t owe taxes you might need to change your W-4 or make Withholding Adjustments.
Self-employed: If you overpaid estimated taxes, pay lower amounts through 2020 so that you will owe some money next year. Then you can choose whether and how much to resist.
