5 Easy Steps: Getting Started Flyer


If you are looking for that basics of war tax resistance without having to read a book, you have found it with this flyer. This brief guide is written for who file and usually owe or pay some federal income tax. We have pamphlets on the website for people who plan on living below the taxable income limit or plan on refusing nonfiling/noncooperation with the IRS.

The five steps on this flyer include: (1) refusal options, (2) federal income tax withholding adjustments, (3) filing as a war tax resister, (4) redirecting taxes, and (5) consequences for war tax resistance.

Your Paycheck to the Pentagon Pipeline
Controlling Federal Income Tax Withholding with W-4 Resistance

Note: The IRS released a new withholding form in 2020 to adjust for the tax overhaul legislation passed at the end of 2017. If you have previously practiced W-4 withholding, you will find the new form very different. Use our formula on this flyer, or in Practical #1: Controlling Federal Income Tax Withholding, to see if your withholding is at a level that works for your resistance style; if not, you can change your W-4 anytime.
