How Seniors can Avoid Paying Taxes... Legally!

Three things that are essential do not pay Federal Income Taxes this year or any year until the illegitimate administration is removed, do not obey any illegitimate laws passed by an illegal Congress because of election voter fraud, do not obey any Executive Orders issued by an illegitimate president.

This is a terrific channel with information for seniors! Thank you! Keep up the good work! I became disabled after my husband passed away and I owed taxes that he didn’t pay and also I owed Student Loans! The government forgave both the tax debt and the student loans after I filled out a form for the IRS that they shared with the Department of Education! The only times I was contacted was by scammers trying to get money by threatening to access my bank account. I told them that I was forgiven those loans and reported them! Yeah! For the Good Guys!

[@janetlynch5804]

​@deeprollingriver52 I dispute your calling AARP a Liberal Flying Monkey. AARP is worthless for average Americans, when their aim is more toward the wealthy, and just wealthier Seniors. AARP also promotes big business, including private for profit rip-off medical Insurances, and others, even with its short stories they are woefully incomplete by providing little (if any) helpful information. And AARP it is often misleading, and lies by omission about Healthcare, etc. And most of the members of AARP do not use, or rarely use the discounts they offer, especially when most people can get Senior Discounts upon request anyway. So what you said deeprollingriver52 btw, nice user name) about AARP being "Liberal" has to come from a mindset of confusion in terminology, and especially even more so, when the word 'Liberal' is linked to "Flying Monkeys" which came from the movie, "The Wizard of OZ". These monkeys were sent by the witch to do her dirty work). Today the phrase for a "Flying Monkey" has since become synonymous with people who end up doing the dirty work of a Narcissist." Smh In saying that, this video and others like it do provide GREAT information that especially applies to Seniors, which fills in the large gap of the lack of information (for a large swathe of Seniors who need to know this, and Seniors who can and will benefit from it). SO, Great Job! And Thank You, SeniorLiving.org

[@4155abc]

I really appreciate these videos! I am 100% debt free and my taxes are 100% paid up but it is still good to know this just in case anything ever happens. The only thing I wonder about these videos is how old do you have to be to be a senior for all of these different things? Some people say you are a senior at 62, some at 65.

[@pegatheetoo1437]

I am currently on non-collectible status with the IRS. I just sent them a letter listing my income and my expenses. I didn't fill out a form, but in a few months, I received a letter telling me that they put me on Non-Collectible Status. However, they will continue to add the penalties if/when you pay. BUT, you can ask them to waive those penalty fees and they usually will!

For the vast majority of seniors, at least right now, tax rates are very favorable and you will pay none or very small amount (which is more than reasonable). If your only income is social security, it will be zero. If you want to live in this country, paying some tax is patriotic. Now I do think the tax on social security is bad and should be overturned. You should receive that tax free.

[@jjbud3124]

It is tax free when that is your only income and you earn below the taxable limit. SS will be taxed.

Social Security and pensions are protected from state tax collectors. Twice the amount of monthly federal benefits including SS deposited into a bank account are protected from garnishment by federal banking regulations,. If you had another account then it could be subject to garnishment but if the source of the funds were exempt SS or pension then you could file a claim of exemption, However states make that process difficult or hide it.

Depends if your contributions to the 401k were pretax or post tax. If pretax, you are deferring the tax to when you start receiving your 401k, if your contributions were post payroll taxes, then you already paid the tax and there is no taxes on the 401k distributions except on the investment gains made by your 401k because this is passive income and gains separated from its capital is income.

Question : I am 68 years old and was laid off from my job last May. I started collecting unemployment and did not have taxes taken out. Now texts are due to the tune of $1,500. How can I or is there a way for me to not have to pay these taxes? I have been paying $50 every month. I sent them a letter and said this is the most I can pay. After 7 months they sent me a letter with a lien if I didn't pay it within 30 days the entire amount. I called them and they said the reason I got the letter was because I did not set up a formal payment plan with them. The fact that I was paying consistently every month meant nothing. So over the phone you set me up on a $50 a month payment plan and told me to get online with their website and set up the automatic withdrawal which I did. Is there a way for me to get out of this at my age even though I am collecting unemployment of 854 every two weeks and now an additional 300 a week boost until September? I'm also collecting Social Security

[@ericolsen2141]

It is difficult to answer these questions because of the lack of information. You are certainly talking about taxes owed to the state? The IRS would never take this aggressive stance. While your SS is protected from the state tax collector unemployment is not so sticking with the payment plan looks like it makes sense Eric HELPS Nonprofit Law Firm

yeah once you pay them something they keep on you forever, you need to listen to this guy & clain a noncollectable status.

IRS files a "notice of lien", not a Lien, which is a judgement after due process is invoked. Notices are not liens, but banks surrender the victim's funds unlawfully by treating a notice of lien as if it was a valid lien. This is a crime by the bank, but no prosecutor will charge them.

what about property taxes for seniors

[@ericolsen2141]

Property taxes are a different animal. They are governed under state laws. They are really owed by the property to which they attach. Some states have programs that reduce property taxes for seniors. There are sometimes other answers. I believe Senior Living will be doing a video on this topic shortly that will answers questions in this area. Eric HELPS Nonprofit Law Firm

How????

[@johnkelly9451]

​​​@@suzihazlove4979Call your local representative. Call your County Courthouse, ask your tax preparer. Depending on the seniors income, they maybe edible for a reduction in taxes after they fill the paperwork out then a refund will be sent. In our state my parents received a discount on their school taxes and $385.00 back out of the $1000.00 they could've received depending on their income. Some renters can qualify too.

Calling the IRS is a waste of time. They never answer the phone and when they do they put you on hold.

They do answer the phone but you might be on hold for up to two hours. Eric HELPS

Here is a quote from the SSA: "If you change your mind about starting your benefits, you can cancel your application for up to 12 months after you became entitled to retirement benefits. This process is called a withdrawal. You can reapply later. You are limited to one withdrawal per lifetime."

How I stopped paying income taxes at 31: I just stopped. How I stopped filing returns at 31: I just stopped. What I did to figure this out: I actually READ "Title" 26, with a law dictionary (NOT Webster's) in hand. Read the LEGAL definition of the term 'includes'. It means 'ONLY YTHIS'. Then look at 26 USC 7701 (definitions) where it defines the United States: it says "includes the District of Columbia" - in other words, it is ONLY the District of Columbia. In other places, sections will say that it "ALSO includes" territories, possessions, etc. In some sections it mentions the "50 states of the union", but NOT as "The United States". So in other words, UNLESS you "reside" in the District of Columbia, you ARE NOT "within" the United States. And (reading relevant sections) unless you have "income" that is "effectively connected with the United States" - guess what? You do NOT have "income" that is "within" the United States. This is not fantasy, it is not "patriot" BS, it is BLACK AND WHITE, written right there in Title 26 (which, BTW, has never been entered into law by an Act of Congress). It is the rules, so to speak, of the Internal Revenue Service. What's interesting is that NOBODY ever asks what that corporation's title means. Specifically what does the term "Internal" mean - internal to what? THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT! Well, what is "The Treasury Department" a department of? The FEDERAL RESERVE. The "Treasury" of the United States, as far as I've been able to figure out from my research, no longer exists, or has no actual function "within" the corporation we call the United States. There' a lot more to this, wherein one can find out what's the REAL situation with this corporation called the United States, what OUR relationship is to it as people out in the American states, and how almost nothing we've been taught about this "country" is true, but it's a lot easier if you ust go to anna von reitz' website (run it together and add com). She's not the only one who's be saying this, as The Informer and his fellow researcher found this out back in the 80's, and Karl Lentz has been teaching how to use common law, based on this info, but I figured it out on my own in the mid 80's - because I realized LEGAL terms rarely have the same meaning as everyday ordinary language words. That's why you have to use a LAW dictionary when reading statutes, codes, rules, regulations, public laws, etc.

I like it. I don't pay a damn dime to them, in fact they pay me over 2,000 a month and I own my home. They give me money to give back to them for their so-called taxes, but it's only $50 a year. I worked on and off, for 46 years and I've never made as much per year as I'm making now. Cindy's husband: a veteran...

[@okthen77]

Yeah it's actually corporate law everything is a corporation period and the District of Columbia is its own state. There is a tribe in this world that has attached these taxes to the people because America went bankrupt in 1933; furthermore for the Payback a Social Security number was attached to everyone being born. This number is a corporate number to the corporate District of Columbia. Putting your name in all caps to where you are obliged to pay taxes in order to pay back the money changers. The IRS is not a federal agency. It is a private Corporation.
