IRS has a few questions:
1. "Do you work in the United States?"
2. "Do you own a trade or business?"
3. "Were you paid any wages in 2026?"
4. "Do you have employees?"
All are a firm 'no' for most people and business owners bc of special federal definitions.
Answers:
1. United States is usually a thing in the Title 26/the tax-code. To work in United States is to work for United States.
2. Trade or Business means to perform the functions of a public office. 26 USC 7701 (26) https://t.co/VVBdsxo8Cm
3. Wages is payments to employees, which is defined as people who hold govt office and corporate officers. https://t.co/NajFVgXskd (a) then (c). Also see 26 USC 3121 which relates to work in United States - meaning the thing/the govt itself.
4. Employees are govt office holders and corporate officers. https://t.co/NajFVgXskd
To review, with respect to the federation/federal income-tax, most people don't work in (for) United States. Most entrepreneurs do not have a trade-or-business. Most people have NEVER received 'wages' but they have received money for their work. Most companies don't have employees.
The tax code is 10,000 pages, but only a few definitions show the income tax is mis-applied to regular pay by people and businesses due to a massive campaign of lies and implications.

We don't have residences. We are not 'individuals'. We are not persons; we are people.
