New Here - thoughts on writing lawful demand clause on W-2 form.

[Helpmedoitright]

OK and by the way, this information from the Federal Register is new to me. I'm a guy who likes things simple and filing a copy of my W2 along with a notarized statement demanding refund seems like a simple idea. Opposed to filing a 1040 which can become complicated and complex rapidly. I guess the question at the moment is would this idea work in today's environment if sent to the IRS? Feedback is appreciated.

It is a simple idea and quite effective. The problem is that an IRS agent can easily phone Payroll or Personnel and there is no recording of what is said in the phone call. The IRS agent will tell your employer to deduct full withholdings and your employer will have you labelled as a tax protester and you will get laid off or fired. All because you involved your employer.
