As Far as I know...You do not sign any IRS form under "penalty of perjury", but "PENALTIES (plural) of perjury".

So, who can be charged with more than one count of perjury? Federal employee or agent of public office.
You get charged with penalty of perjury, PLUS you lose your position and pension. A civilian can only be charged once

Signing any IRS form provides the prima facie evidence they need that you, are indeed, a federal employee or a public office.

I, personally, will not provide prima facie that I am a statutory "employee", "employer", and earn statutory "wages".
