IRS representatives have even said so in congressional hearings. If paying taxes wasn't voluntary it wouldn't be constitutional. In the current system we file our 1040's voluntarily. Your proposal would seem to create a mandatory tax and therefore be unconstitutional. Not to mention all of the government workers it would displace. ;) Professor, our tax system today is voluntary.
