Do I still have to file taxes?

Yes — you are still required to file a tax return because you are classified by law as a taxpayer. The 12-411 process does not exempt you from filing; it exempts you from having to pay income tax on your earnings.

Here’s why filing is still essential:

• Filing a tax return is how you remain compliant with the IRS and avoid penalties or enforcement actions

• The only way to receive a refund from the IRS is by filing a Form 1040, their standardized tax return

• Filing under the 12-411 process allows your income to be lawfully reclassified as nontaxable, which is what entitles you to receive a 100% refund of federal withholdings

From the IRS’s point of view, you’re still playing by the rules — you’re filing their forms, following their procedures, and communicating clearly.

This approach keeps you compliant while legally avoiding the surrender of your income. It’s not about hiding or protesting — it’s about executing a lawful, government-authorized remedy in full transparency

Our process is designed to help you eliminate the payment, not the filing. Filing is how you document and activate the benefits of lawful money redemption.
