    Yup. Especially because the IRS knows how much most of us are making. (If you’re not completely in cash in the black market the IRS knows.) Your employer reports your earnings to the IRS.

    Incredibly we have this system because the private tax preparation business has lobbied to make it hard to pay your taxes.
