Can businesses use this process?

Yes — businesses can absolutely undergo the 12-411 process and file a 12-411 tax return. This will eliminate your federal and state income tax liability at the corporate level.

However, there is one key exception:

If your business is structured in a way that subjects it (or you) to self-employment tax — such as through an S-Corp, sole proprietorship, or certain partnerships — that specific portion of tax liability may still apply.

Here’s why:

• Self-employment tax represents Social Security and Medicare insurance contributions, not income tax

• These federal programs were not in existence in 1913, when the lawful money redemption process was created

• Therefore, the 12-411 process does not eliminate self-employment tax

That said, the process still provides substantial savings, especially by eliminating 100% of your federal income tax — which is usually the largest portion of your tax burden.
