. I don't need a link, I've paid federal tax on my unemployment every time I've got it, out of every check. You also report it as income at the end of the year. Point two is a damn lie, as I've just stated.

If you collect unemployment for a year, you will not pay a penny in federal income taxes. If you do, then your accountant is robbing you blind. Obviously, if you work most of the year in a good paying job, they you will pay federal income taxes at the end of the year. It sounds like you are confusing income taxes being withheld and income taxes that are paid.

Now, how about that link showing that there are people who are unemployed long term that pay federal income taxes?
