I know that U.S. income taxes are NOT legal beyond any doubt. You do not have to pay it. I don't pay it.
Quite simply, there is no law nor statute requiring you to pay income taxes in the United States.

The Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution:
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
In other words, you do have to pay your taxes, it isn't an option, and not paying your taxes is in direct conflict with the constitution. Everyone whines and moans about taxes but the bottom line is that they are, for the most part, necessary, and every citizen should be willing to pitch in for the good of his or her nation or state.
We can and probably should spend plenty of time discussing how much we should be taxed and who should be taxed for what, but the idea of having no taxes at all is silly. Everything has to be paid for somehow.
