Yes. Virtually all income taxes in the US are voluntary. That means the person responsible for them voluntarilarly, on his own, reports and pays them. Not that he has a choice about paying them or not, but how it is done. All the alternatives, which were used when that term was coined, were taxes basically imposed arbitrarilarly and taken by force. The Kings men came and said -"we will take 5 bushels of vegetable, 1 cow for the Kings table..and a barrel of that wine for our collecting it", and essentially came back whenever they wanted. Or you were told to bring an item of value to the rulers...again whenever they wanted and if you didn't you were killed and it was taken anyway. The King/Ruler/Emperor really owned everything, and any business was allowed only under his approval/gift and partnership. By the way, this all has been discussed many times in Courts...so many times, with so many more literate and researched answers...that now the Courts and Law has made it that trying to present an argument that "voluntary" means you have a choice to pay or not, is considered frivalous and tax protester and immeadiately dismissed and a triple the tax penalty.
