If you're quoting from the filer, I see problems with the filer's process. The filer states: if I made $50k in the year and the entire 50K was paid only happens with non-employees; people paid outright. The letter refers to "WAGES" which is IRS terminology for employee income. Filer later states: Of course we need to identify how much was withheld for SS and medicare as part of schedule 1? and that indicates filer really was an employee with deductions taken from pay. Employees don't get a check for their full gross income (to demand in lawful money).

It's possible the filer is just a gamester playing tricks with us.
The "filer" was speaking hypothetically.

Thanks. That is why I was showing it without careful inspection. So people might point things out.
