For those living in the United States, we know Uncle Sam won’t escape a penny from taxes, regardless of your immigration status. What few know is that the Internal Tax Service (IRS) does not record all income; there are several exceptions that can allow you to get some money without having to pay taxes. Here we list the 16 most important payments that are released from the tax.
