Some taxes, they do allot to avoid paying taxes, they do pay most of same taxes that we do!

But depending on the group and the laws of their area, they can avoid paying a number taxes, most do not pay Social Security and often do not report all income.

They often use trade amongst each other for goods, which is large percentage financial transaction, that never is thus taxed.

They do use the same systems of government aid and government agencies, they use same public convinces as buss systems and parks, and it is increasing debate how much drain the Amish society is to the state and federal finances.

But there is no doubt, that the increasing medical problems among the Amish people, is putting a burden on health care system, as Amish tend to settle their bills at discount percentage of the cost.

Can you legally denounce your social security number?

You can take an ad out in the paper saying "I denounce 123-45-6789!" in bold type and it's perfectly legal.That's the ONLY way in which the question makes any sense to me.If you mean that you don't want to participate in the social security system at all, there is one option I know of: move to an Amish community and become Amish. The Amish are permitted to exempt themselves from Social Security taxes on religious grounds, because the Amish community has a very long history of taking care of elderly/infirm and destitute members (who therefore don't collect Social Security benefits either). You've got to really be committed to the belief system and the lifestyle to do this, though, because if you try it as a tax dodge both the US and the Amish will take a very dim view of it.The other option is to choose not to participate in social security by never applying for benefits. I don't think anyone can make you take social security benefits if you don't want them. You'll still have to pay the FICA taxes though.
