A tax protester is someone who refuses to pay a tax claiming that the tax laws are unconstitutional or otherwise invalid. Tax protesters are different from tax resisters,who refuse to pay taxes as a protest against a government or its policies,or a moral opposition to taxation in general,not out of a belief that the tax law itself is invalid. The United States has a large and organized culture of people who espouse such theories. Tax protesters also exist in other countries.
Tax protester arguments are arguments made by people,primarily in the United States,who contend that tax laws are unconstitutional or otherwise invalid.

The duties of the IRS include providing tax assistance to taxpayers;pursuing and resolving instances of erroneous or fraudulent tax filings;and overseeing various benefits programs,including the Affordable Care Act.
Tax protesters in the United States advance a number of administrative arguments asserting that the assessment and collection of the federal income tax violates regulations enacted by responsible agencies –primarily the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)–tasked with carrying out the statutes enacted by the United States Congress and signed into law by the President. Such arguments generally include claims that the administrative agency fails to create a duty to pay taxes,or that its operation conflicts with some other law,or that the agency is not authorized by statute to assess or collect income taxes,to seize assets to satisfy tax claims,or to penalize persons who fail to file a return or pay the tax.
Under the federal law of the United States of America,tax evasion or tax fraud,is the purposeful illegal attempt of a taxpayer to evade assessment or payment of a tax imposed by Federal law. Conviction of tax evasion may result in fines and imprisonment. Compared to other countries,Americans are more likely to pay their taxes on time and law-abidingly.
