I'm still amazed that most people in USA refuse to structure their affairs so they do not qualify as a person who files a tax return. Most of this nonsense is voluntary if you are set up corectly.

There is no legal structure for a US citizen to avoid paying taxes legally. You are taxed on your global income as long as you are a US citizen.
How do you do this without getting nailed for tax evasion?
Start reading the actual rules about 'taxpayer'. Typical people voluntarily contribute because they don't want the hassles of learning and implementing effective strategies. Basically, if you submit a yearly signed document to the IRS then you are at their mercy.

Or be like rich entrepreneurs and run everything through a business (or foundation like Clintons).
