Do not earn any taxable income. You can still provide some effort, but it needs to take the form of something exempt from the tax regulations.
You could invest in municipal bonds whose income is exempt from income taxes.
You could also start a church. Their income is exempt from federal taxes as well. |

Don't make any money because if you don't have any income then you don't have to pay income tax. |

Don't make enough money to pay any - or even have enough deductions not to owe any, but qualify for an EIC. |

Millions of people pay no tax. These include
1. Any individual who earns less than the filing requirement for his filing status.
2. Any individual with one or two qualifying children who rather than pay tax, get a cash payment from the government, the Earned Income Credit. A single person with one qualifying child and an income of $11,750 would owe no tax and get a cash payment of over $2,700 from the government.
3. A retired or disabled individual whose only income is from Social Security.
4. Any military person whose only income is combat pay.
I'm sure there are many other examples. Many groups of people pay no tax at all. |

you need a tax doctor. one who is a combination of a fiction writer with the right premise and knows the law inside out to think you out of a situation. and, oh yeah, you minimize, not escape. or you might want to paraphrase your question to where in the world can you earn and yet not pay taxes? saudi arabia? tax haven countries? take your pick. |

Get disabled and collect social security, of course if you never had anything you never will. I don't make enough to have to pay. |

You could more out of the US and formally renounce your citizenship before a US consular officer. Then you are no longer a US citizen of Resident and are not subject to US tax law. You may be subject to taxes in whatever country you move to. This is somewhat extreme and I doubt you will consider it, but is is a legal means of escaping US income tax. The "don't have any taxable income" method works as well. It tends to reduce your standard of living, but is also legal. There are of coarse several illegal methods. I won't detail any of them here. |

Well lets see, have a few kids, don't work, work less, lots of ways to avoid income tax. But lets get real our income tax here is a lot less than that of other nations. For example I saw a report recently that income tax in France in nearly 60%. With that in mind I don't think we have it so bad, Considering a portion of our nation doesn't even have to pay taxes because they earn so little, or they have enough money to find or buy all the loop holes they need to avoid certain taxes. |

Who pays for all of the government services if no one pays taxes? Let's just close the schools and the police departments and all of the other government funded services and call it a wash. |

i think you probaly earn a lot and not willing to pay the tax based on your earnings.
if you don't mind to go to jail or end up to have paid penalties higher than what you supposed to tax, then there are a lot of ways to escape it . eg don't report your earning honestly and put claims (private hotel bills.., expenses) not supposed belongs to the business ...etc.
You can consult a tax consultant who willing to take the risk for you. |

Earn less than the filing requirement amount for your filing status. If you're a Single filer and not the dependent of another taxpayer, the magic number for 2007 is $8,750 in wages. Good luck surviving on that.
A couple of folks have suggested moving out of the counrty. Sorry, but that won't work either. Most countries that you would want to live in have higher income taxes than the US even if you didn't have to pay US taxes. And the vast majority of them with lower taxes are places you wouldn't want to live anyway. |
