However, I wouldn't go about doing that right now, otherwise you're just getting those penalties, it would have to be a major nation wide movement to withhold our taxes using that strategy.
Gerald Jinx (@smooshadin.bsky.social) reply parent
You can certainly withhold deductions if you choose. We do use a pay as you go system, so there are penalties assessed by the IRS. But if they're broke, who's assessing? It's not exactly easy, but it's within the realm of "doable." Employers can't deny a new W-4.

What science tells us about gender. Biological sex is complex with chromosomes, hormones, anatomy, and gene expression. It is not a strict binary. Intersex variations occur about as often as naturally occurring red hair.
