Hi, Brian

26 CFR 1.1-1a tells us a national is NOT taxed (except for 871 b and 877 b).

What throws a reader is that the status of national is labeled "non-resident alien individual", which, EVERYWHERE ELSE in the CFR DOES mean a foreigner!

I am a national since 2017 and not a peep from IRS since.

My employer fumbled my W-4 exempt status last year so I just recently filed the Form 1040-NR, with all zeroes except for my refund of $1632.53.

I have an acquaintance who has done much research into changing his status and he has talked about the Buck Act. I never refer to my payer as an employer, since employer is another deceptive term of art defined in Title 26 as someone who "employs" an "employee", again as defined in Title 26. But I've found it difficult, despite having superior knowledge of the Tax Code, to find payroll managers willing to listen to anyone but their paid liars whether misinformed Tax Attorneys (shills) or ignorant, misinformed CPAs (most trained/programmed by the IRS) and, of course, the dishonest IRS. Sadly most people would rather follow habits than learn something new and correct that might reveal they have been doing something wrong for a very long time. I haven't found any company that I can work for that is not entranced into requiring a W-4. So I have submitted a qualified W-4 with an affidavit on the reverse side and a reference to the affidavit beside my signature along with a stern warning letter. But once you allow theft by conversion, that is civil conversion, where a misinformed and/or dishonest payer hands over your money to the IRS, even though they are not a withholding agent, it is, more often than not, difficult to correct the fraudulent W-2s and oblige the IRS to return your property. There are hundreds of thousands of examples of the IRS returning property, and one such example of mine with the state of Georgia returning all withholdings (overpayments) on public display at LostHorizons.com, when one properly rebuts the fraudulent W-2s or 1099s, but it is by far the best for them to never get their greedy hands on property that never was theirs in the first place. Working for a living in the private sector is an untaxable right, and is no exercise of federal privilege or excise taxable economic activity, and payers should not be libeling people in the private sector with such fraudulent information returns nor burdening them with illegal withholding against payments that have nothing to do with federal income. If the enforcement of the limits of the federal income tax is not adhered to sooner rather than later by an informed populace, the problem will eventually get resolved by violence, which is the worst way and final resort to resolve the repeated violation of natural law.
