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?

Like I said, you are a damn liar, or don't know your ass from a block of coal. I have paid federal taxes from every check, and have been unemployed before, for more than a year. Like I said, I don't need a link, I have been there.
