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)

@doomsdayrs Since Trump is trying to kill the income tax by reassigning all IRS agents to the border, my guess is that - when the U.S. government collapses under the weight of sheer stupidity - you won't have to file on time.

But after the chaos settles down, it will depend on who ends up in control.

After the chaos settles down a whole lot of people are going to be dead. Taxes are the last thing to worry about in this scenario.
