โฒ 178 โผ USA: Do I still file federal taxes if the federal government collapses? (lemmy.ml) submitted 2 years ago by doomsdayrs@lemmy.ml to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 49 comments fedilink hide all child comments Like, if its collapsed, do I file? Do I even have to? I am most certainly going to pay my state tax, but then what? What about stuff like my social security funds? (I am asking for others because we're at that point now I suppose)
