Is anyone out there reading this employed by Taco Bell? I see this
Taco Bell example all over this newsgroup as to why you don't have to
give an SS number but does anyone really know of any employment not
requiring SS numbers (except possibly illegal immigrants)??
Or is this a numerology thing, like Farrakhan and his pyramids, etc ?

Ypou can write to EEOC of Dallas Texas and get a free copy of the case.
Although settled out of court, (with ICS being fined, and penalized),
The court made some very interesting statements, including but not
limited to:
"This court cannot find, nor did ICS Cite any law that requires an
employer to fire an employe for not obtaining a SSN."
And "Employers can file for relief from the IRS, for failure to obtain
information needed on a W4 form, via IRC 6724."
Write to EEOC of Dallas Texas, and get a copy. I have one. It sure is
interesting reading, and yes, Tacho bell does not require a SSN to work
there.

What the decision says is that Taco Bell is required to ASK for the
Social Security Number but if the employee doesn't give a Social
Security Number, Taco Bell can't fire him (or her) for that reason. It
isn't Taco Bell's job to enforce the Social Security tax laws; it's
Uncle Sam's.
It's possible that the employment APPLICATION says that supplying SSN
is optional since, of course, there is no obligation whatsoever to
supply it until actually hired and beginning work. However, on the
forms to begin employment, it will not say optional.
Incidentally, tax protestors like to leave out that Taco Bell still
had to withhold and forward the tax itself without the number, so it
didn't make the employee any richer.

Yes, and they would actually be poorer due to the fact that the
withholding would, in all probability be higher than if the W-4
was completed and there would be no credit for payment of FICA
and no refund of over payment of Income taxes. No social
security benefits accrued. And the requirement to file the
return still exists. Paul
According to you previous postings, you claim to be a contractor, not an
employee, so you should receive a 1099 instead of a W-2.
So stop lying about your status as an employee not subject to withholding.

Again, you make a supposition based on absolutely no factual
information, as is quite frequently done by the sheep of the system.
Remember your history? It was real easy for the supporters of King
George to slander and defame those that stood up for their rights.
When it was found that those who had taken the first steeps toward
gaining their freedom where right, the ranks swelled and in the end,
we where free. Which one of those are you? A sheep, a herd animal
all set to be lead to slaughter, or someone that can think for
himself, that will stand by his decision to learn the truth and stand
by that truth?

You didn't look very far or very hard.
"The employer is required to request a withholding exemption certificate
[i.e., Form W-4] from each employee, but if the employee fails to provide
such certificate, such employee shall be considered as a single person

I am the former investigator for the National Worker's Rights Committee from

issue
regarding withholding very intensively, and discovered other facts of law which
reveal that
no returns are legally required to be made regarding payments to U.S. Citizens.
Within your response to this Mr. Dilworth I have inserted a few of my comments. I
hope you
do not find them too disturbing or confusing.

Roger Dilworth (or whatever your name is),
First of all, don't misquote me. I deduct taxes for the majority of my
employees, as they have correctly executed the W-4's I was required by law to
REQUEST they fill out. However, a few of my employees have refused to fill
out W-4's, and, I have followed all IRS Regulations as they have been written.
I didn't write them, I'm just following them. All of you who deem to know
more about it than I do, show me the laws and regulations (not the
publications, not correspondence, not conventional wisdom) that require me to
withhold employment taxes, minus a properly executed W-4. I have found no
such provisions.
<<<<<<<< I must point out that 26 U.S.C. § 3401 requires an employer to withhold
from any
employee the wage withholding tax in § 3402 when the employee does not provide a
W4.
<<<<<<<<Still, there is no law which requires a U.S. Citizen to complete and submit
a W4. There is also no law which requires a U.S. Citizen to obtain a Social
Security Number to then
legally meet the definition of an "employee" subject to 3401 and 3402.
<<<<<<<<Additionally, there is no law which requires and employer to assume or
presume that a U.S. Citizen either has a Social Security Number, or even made the
voluntary application for the Social Security Number to then be subject to the
taxes related to the W4.
<<<<<<<<Let's for a moment, remove ourselves from the procedural question of
withholding employment taxes. Let's move into the question of why SS taxes
are withheld. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't SS taxes CREDITED to the
"account" of the employee in order to build credit toward retirement?
<<<<<<<<That is what is claimed, but it is a fact as revealed in the case of
Helvering v. Davis
that all of the money collected for Social Security are placed in the General Fund
and
spent.
If an employee refuses to furnish his/her SS#, or doesn't have one, what purpose
would any withheld taxes have, as they couldn't be properly credited toward
the employee?
<<<<<<<<Here is a great example of how you have been programmed to believe that
everyone working for you is an "employee" as defined by the Social Security Act and
the Internal Revenue
Code, yet I think that you may be writing in the context of the Tort definition,
not the Internal Revenue Code definition.
<<<<<<<<Yes, amounts cannot be credited to accounts that neither exist in
actuality, nor were
legally created. A U.S. Citizens ignorance of his right not to be subject to the
Social
Security Act, and thus be entitled to all of his money cannot be prejudiced by his
application as a minor, since the application was not made with a evidence of a
good faith
attempt by the SSA to inform the Citizen of his rights before application.
Or are you asserting that SS is a welfare tax on wages, void of
any true benefit to the employee?
I do issue W-2's at the end of the year (before Jan 31 of the succeeding year,
actually), just as a file my 941's quarterly, and my 940, W-3, and 1120
annually.
<<<<<<<<I hope that you do not do so regarding people who do not have numbers as it
not only confuses the IRS, but it annoys them when your workers have all of their
paperwork
substantiating the assertion of their rights maintained in their personnel file.
How many of you in the peanut gallery employ people?
<<<<<<<<How about these two questions:
<<<<<<<<How many of you employee people pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code?
<<<<<<<<How many of you employ people under the law of Torts?
<<<<<<<<The point is that if someone is working under you, they are always an
employee as defined under the law of Torts, but this is not always the case
regarding the IRC as that
definition is dependent upon the Social Security Act.
How many of you actually put into practice the regulations that you deem to
explain to me?
IF they do, they probably over comply.
My company, by the way, has between 30 and 40 people on payroll at any one
time. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "understanding" as applied
to my employees.
<<<<<<<<Unfortunately in this highly litigious society filled with liberal
socialistic values, the
concept of understanding is subjective. The other unfortunate thing which I have
exposed
is that law have been set in place to trick the employer/lawyer/accountant that
first all
employees of a company meet the IRC definition of "employee", and therefore tricked
into
believing that all Subtitle C taxes and the W4 apply to them all.

Oh, my mistake, indeed. Your original post said it was from Thurston

At the beginning of the post, Thurston Bell was working for the
"National Worker's Rights Committee." At the end of the post, he was
represented as working for the "National Institute for Taxation
Education." Now, we are advised that he is duh man who WALKS THE WALK.
If he be so wunderful, then tell me where Mr. Bell is published? Is he
listed in some national directory of smart or famous people? I do not
even see his name in your scam of a web site.
I find your info very disturbing and confusing.
Every time I file form 941 without "withholdings"
the IRS puts a lien on my accounts.(after about 1
year) I have been in jail several times over this.
What else am I suppose to do ??
Well, he (or somebody holding himself out to be him) e-mailed me
privately. I asked him to post his rediculous comments in public. He
has not done so.

I believe it was the NWRC was the entity which represented the patriot
in the EEOC v ISC case in Dallas.
Thurston just set out on his own recently and founded this NITE.
Ask Thurston if he is a person liable and so required to file a
return.

You are correct. There are none. However you must be careful not to
emply non-resident aliens. Then you would become liable under
Subtitle A Section 1446. If you get an I-9 form from aliens, you are
protected.

For your employees who do not have W-4's on file, You should not use
W-2 to report. Actually, there is no requirement to report any
payment for the non W-4 employees. If you feel a need to report these
payments (not income), you should be using the 1099, with the word
"none" written into the TIN field, and you should also provide an
affidavit of request and transmittal showing that you asked for the
number and do not have it, and request a waiver based upon this
reasonable cause. Be sure to refer to 301.6676-1 and 301.6019-1(c)

And you continue to ignore the written law which evidences the
voluntary nature of the taxes within Subtitle C
Show me the law WITHIN TITLE 42 where I, a Citizen must apply for an
SSN. You cannot.
Show me the law which states I must make an agreement in the form of
W-4 with an employer in the face of:
31.3402 (p) -1 Voluntary withholding agreements.
a) In general. An employee and his employer may enter into an
agreement under section 3402 (p) to provide for the withholding of
income tax...
b) ... an employee who desires to enter into an agreement under
section 3402 (p) shall furnish his employer with Form W-4 (withholding
exemption certificate) executed in accordance with the provisions of
section 3402 (f) and the regulations thereunder. The furnishing of
such Form W-4 shall constitute a request for withholding...
This language is "may" permissive, optional. I do not have to provide
a W-4. I need not request withholding.
Furthermore, 26 C.F.R. 31.3402 (P) -1(2) states:
"An agreement under Section 3402(p) shall be effective for such period
as the employer and the employee mutually agree upon. However, either
the employer or the employee may terminate the agreement prior to the
end of such period by furnishing a signed written notice to the
other."
So it is revocable by either party at will.
Please show me the purpose of these regulations if a W-4 is required
or an SSN is required.
Also, take notice of 3402(n):
(n) Employees incurring no income tax liability
Not withstanding any other provisions of this section, an employer
shall not be required to deduct and withhold any tax under this
chapter upon a payment of wages to an employee if there is in effect
with respect to such payment a withholding exemption certificate (in
such form and containing such other information as the Secretary may
prescribe) furnished to the employer by the employee certifying that
the employee -
(1) incurred no liability for income tax imposed under Subtitle A
for his preceding taxable year, and
(2) anticipates that he will incur no liability for income tax
imposed under subtitle A for his current taxable year..."
So I provide such an affidavit as I have no Subtitle A liability.
26 C.F.R. Sec. 301.6109(c) states:
"when the person ... does not know the number of the other person ...
and has complied with the request provision of this paragraph, he
shall sign an affidavit on the transmittal document..."
So sign the affidavit to absolve the company of penalties.
and 26 C.F.R. Sec. 301.6676-1 Penalty for failure to supply
identifying number states:
"... If after such request has been made, the payee does not furnish
the payer with his identifying number, the penalty will not be
assessed against the payer."
So, if I have no SSN, and am not required to get one, and need not
file a W-4 or provide an SSN and there are provisions which keep the
International Representatives of Satan off the back of the employer,
how much more voluntary can you get than that?
Please answer each and every point or admit that you have not read the
law.

You are right: I cannot, because taxes are not volutary. I cannot
prove a negative.

Not me. I am a tax guy -- Title 26 -- I am not familiar with Title 42.
Now, what that has to do with the non-sense you write here, is beyond
me. You have a knack for quoting federal laws and regulations which are
quoted out of context and prove NOT your positions.
I would like to see this "statement of citizenship" - It seems easy
enough to determine if Taco Bell employees have the option of
opting out of the tax withholding system. Does anyone
have any objective evidence of this policy with Taco Bell ?? (not
tax protester stuff, real evidence?)
I am still waiting for that Taco Bell application. If you will fax it
to me on Monday, at least tell us that, so that we are not waiting and
wainting and waiting.
I hope that you will take the time to post the fax you
recieve to this group, when Mr. Szippunko send yo

Do you admit that a Citizen could (attempt) to make himself not
subject to withholding using 3402(f) or not? In this case, the
"employer" is not liable, as they have been relieved of the duty. Why
should the "employer" not use the affidavit and let the Citizen take
his chances.
My question is this: If an "employer" attempts to use 4302(f) to
withhold at single-zero, would he be in violation of the law should
the Citizen provide the affidavit under 3402(n) and the "employer"
still withholds? It seems to me that the improper conversion of part
of the Citizen's pay withoput the proper legal authority is
conversion. This is a crime.

I have no need for federal programs. The taxes under subtitle C
finances them. Unless I wish to participate, these taxes are

If, as I suspect, you are going to claim to be a citizen of the

FWIW Gill, I HAVE seen the Taco Bell employment form to which he refers. I
heard about this over three years ago and promptly went down the street to our
local TB and asked for a copy of their form. Sure enough there it was in
black and white: "SSN (optional):_____________". I then called the director
of our local EEOC office and asked about this. She confirmed that it is
illegal to deny someone a job simply because they don't have and/or won't
obtain a SSN!. Once in a while, the right hand of government does not know
what the left hand is doing. Nowhere is that phenomena more prevalent than in
tax law. If you are too lazy to check it out for yourself then who the fuck
cares? You and your kind will eventually be dealt with in the streets.

The opinions and interpretations that you discuss are those that if submitted
in a pleading would subject a lawyer to sanctions in any Federal court or the

Hardly a personal attack.

This would be funny if it were not so pathetic.
Brooks Martin apparently believes that the regulation quoted
above means that an employer must "consider" the employee to
be single, but doesn't require the employer to do anything with
the information. According to Martin, the regulation does not
require the employer to collect any taxes, it just requires the
employer to think about the employee in a different way.
How could any rational human being present such a ridiculous
argument? How could Martin have typed what he typed without
a glimmer of realization that what he was proposing was
absolutely absurd?

Not on this newsgroup. One of your cohorts is spending his time with
conspiracy theories surrounding the origin of news post from myself and
Gwailo. Another is looking behind every tree for an IRS agent. Still
another is reading in the Bible about the evil IRS and 666.
Now, back to the matter at hand:
1) you hold yourself out as having a law degree.
Do you, or do you not have a law degree?
If so, from where?
2) you have made statements about a certain
employment application from Taco Bell, and
allege that employees at Taco Bell can elect
to be tax exempt by providing a statement of
citizenship, or some such thing. Do you or
do you not have in your possession said
document? If so, can you (somehow) provide

Yeah, I am aware that the defendant's only objection was the use of a=20
SS#. I obtained a copy of the case from the local EEOC office.
But, here again, according to the IRS and SSA there is no way
for a worker to receive ANY credit for money paid in without
a number to report it under. So, this ruling is kinda dumb in places.
Further, he filled out a W-4. This is also interesting because
according to the IRS if one does not (fill out a W-4 and fails to =
provide=20
a SS#), then the money is reported on a 1099 and not on a W-2.

Gill & Co (or was it Harold Clarke, or both), shows that when you READ
the DECISIONS you discover amazing things-- like skipping the SSN
doesn't save the poor protestor any money, the tax ghets taken out
anyway (but shmo gets no credit for it).

There ARE such cases. Tax protestors LOSE them. You "sure" are wrong!
Tax protestor victory = getting the bottom bunk in the cell.

Mr. Psycho:

I just want to see the "beef." So many claims, and such little

Clearly an odd case, but on the above, we agree.

This is absolutely false. The filing of a 1099 or W-2 is dependent upon
the classification of the worker -- employee or independent contractor
-- and has nothing to do with a worker's option to not complete a W-4.
Show me this law. Show me the law that indicates that one can choose to
not complete a W-4 and be classified as an independent contractor.
Even if this were so, and it is not, do you disagree that an independent
contractor is subject to self employment tax (read: Social Security) ?

Well we can speculate on such a case, but I would point out that the
ruling in the ISC case MANDATED the withholding and payment of Social
Security taxes.

No, the Regulations DO NOT say that. If you think that they do, show us
where.
don't count on seeing anything, the "friend" is fictitious or is fringe
- not really "living quite well"

My friend severed his connection with Social Security in 1994, and has
lived quite well without that "slave" number. He has even won a few
court cases in Georgia and IN U.S. District court. BTW, he's civilly
dead.

The law only deals with those who have a number, even when they refuse
to divulge it.
If a person HAS NO NUMBER, he owes no tax.

Let's see some citations to these cases. Tax protestors generally
Do you feel that Thomas Jefferson was an intelligent individual? Here is a
quoet from him: " The price of freedome is eternal vigulance. Never trust
your government." The biggest problem with our current government is that
most of us are intimidated by them to the point that we trust everything
that they do. Take Jefferson's advice and question what they are doing,
you might be surprised by what you find out.

And your source?
According to Bartlett's, the first part of the quote is frequently attributed
to Jefferson, meaning that there is no evidence he ever said it or wrote
it.
I think you're just plain old lying about the second part of the quote,
and that Jefferson never said any such thing.
