Did the IRS sent the guy a tax bill? They never send me one. They rely on me filing forms, telling them info and calculating the taxes I owe the IRS (that's "voluntary" compliance). If I don't owe any money, I don't pay the IRS and then seek its return to me. Now, reading again the original post, this guy sounds like a scum bag (either because of his tax position or that he is running for office, your choice), but that doesn't negate the issue of whether one has to pay the IRS taxes which are not owed and then asking for a refund.
