Hello realname
Welcome to the forum.
I highly recommend you read
this somewhat lengthy treatise, while you pay your income taxes on your W-2 "income" conventionally, to save yourself much agony and expenses in the future.
Even though you can redeem your paychecks for lawful money AFTER you receive the "taxable income", you still owe the income taxes because you signed W-4s, which result in W-2s, which means that you are receiving "taxable income" as far as the IRS is concerned.
So-called lawful money returns are still new to the IRS right now. Give them about 2 years and watch what happens.
They have 7 years to mess around with a return you file for any given tax year.
Just because they issue refunds for a while doesn't mean that "it worked".
The IRS will demand those refunds back later, plus penalties and interest, and with frivolous filing fees piled on top.
I don't mean to put a damper on your enthusiasm, but after experiencing the HENDRICKSON disaster, I would hate to see more people fall into this trap.
Lawful money is real, it exists, but unless you are being paid in cash or coin, you are not getting lawful money.
If you signed W-4s you volunteered to be a taxpayer-slave via the trade or business scam.
Please be careful.
