Start with the fact that everyone should raise their kids not to file taxes.
It's too late for adults who already file to stop without being targeted for betraying the gang initiation ritual, but we don't need to bring new people in. I've never filed.
I’m assuming you don’t work a W-2 job?
I don't even know what that is. Last job I did was doordash
W-2 just means you’re an employee, and your employer takes taxes out of every paycheck. I think DoorDash pays you as a contractor instead.
If you do W-2 work and your employer withholds taxes, that's all the more reason not to file. They will never knock on your door in the years they owe you money, and everyone you know will remember that if they knock on your door later because they've decided you're too rich.
I guess I don’t see a big benefit to not filing if I’m still paying them taxes (possibly too much taxes at that). I do agree with not paying and not filing if possible though.
