А что, так можно было?
The Amish can be exempt from paying FICA, FUTA, and Self-Employment tax.
FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act, which funds Social Security and Medicare. FUTA stands for the Federal Unemployment Tax Act, which funds unemployment benefits. Anyone who has been an employee is used to seeing those line items on their paychecks. Employers withhold those amounts from employee wages, and pay an employer portion, to fund the employee’s insured status for those benefits if the employee should meet other qualifications. People who are self-employed pay FICA taxes through their self-employment taxes, found on Schedule SE with their form 1040, to have insured status for Social Security and Medicare.
Exemption from FICA and FUTA taxes is based on strongly held religious beliefs that require the individual to refuse receipt of the insurance programs into which those taxes pay. The individual may receive an exemption from paying into Social Security, Medicare, and Unemployment Compensation because the individual will never receive those benefits, even in old age.
Оказывается, существуют религиозные исключения, позволяющие не платить Social Security and Medicare taxes — предполагается, что человек не собирается получать соответствующие пенсии.
А ещё есть освобождение от налога на самозанятых для священников.
Надо срочно организовать свою религию.
