Lol the government may shut down but the tax machine? Never. It’s like they’ve got it backed up on some eternal AWS cloud.

The government doesn’t write my check, and my company’s withholding of federal taxes doesn’t speak to the status of government operations.
But good try, I guess.

You would just end up paying it in a lump sum when the government reopens.

Technically they’re not, your employer is withholding the amount and sending it to the government. You *could* just not withhold anything ever because the only time the government truly needs their money is when taxes are due (edit: which to be clear may be quarterly vs annually if you want to avoid penalties).

Totally your right to go experience exempt. What’s taken from your check is just an estimate. You’re not actually paying your taxes til you do your taxes.

Nope, but the check I sent to the IRS is sitting in limbo. I’m sure that’ll clear at the worst possible moment.

Your employer doesn’t use a payroll system controlled by the government. Normally.

This is truly the mental level of the MAGA audience. The federal government, intercepts your check, takes taxes out, then re-issue it from your employer’s bank account. This is how MAGA is brainwashed: they are told the stupidest fairy tales, then MAGA do mental calisthenics to have it some how, common-sense it to truth.
