Refunded.. slim to none..
Most people do not know that the federal income tax is illegeal, and that there was never a law created that makes us pay it..

Your chances are none. This rumor seems to make the rounds all the time. Income taxes were found to be unconstitutional in 1895. In 1913, a constitutional amendment was passed authorizing congress to establish an income tax, which congress did that year.
Tax protestors state that the amendment was not ratified properly because different states punctuated and capitalized different from others. This argument has been routinely rejected by the courts.

THERE IS NO SUN! Now that you have read that do you believe that there is no sun. All those that write stuff about there being no legal obligation to pay taxes must believe that all of that do are just doing it because we want to. While I know that there has been a legal battle against the idea of income tax I recognize that the government always wins. So the chance of you getting you paid tax back is very slim.

You heard wrong. If you were a US resident your world-wide income is fully taxable by the US. There is zero chance of a refund of those taxes.
There are "Tax Kooks" in the US who claim that there is no legal basis for the US Income Tax. You would be well served to ignore them. The legal status of US Tax Law is indisputable. Every one of them has lost their case when it came to the obligation to pay their due. A few did dodge the bullet on criminal convictions for tax evasion or willful failure to file a tax return but that didn' t affect their tax liability by 2¢.

you've been reading nonsense, lad.
we've a set of [omitted for decency]s over here who like to claim that everything about the government is illegal, immoral, and just plain wrong. They've lost every court case so far and it doesn't look like they'll ever win one.
this particular silly claim has been going around for decades already and has lost in court hundreds of times.
You don't really think they'd be any less official than the Inland Revenue, now do you?

Do you really think we are paying our taxes voluntarily?
What are your chances? None.

None. Don't waste your time, or the time of the IRS.
