We currently receive checks issued by US govt, deposited directly into bank account: one from social security, one from military pension, and one from VA disability – this last one the only one not taxed. Is it possible to protect the other checks from taxation? Also, if govt is issuing these checks and they are successful in implementing a cbdc, will we have to go along with that to keep receiving this money, or will we have to kiss it goodbye? It’s not a small sum, and we don’t have a large nest egg to be able to give it up.
