Whenever I’ve explained I’ve mentioned that in my “perfect world,” a tax return showing taxes paid would entitle one to vote for the next year.
Regardless of specific details, takers should not be able to vote for their own entitlements. The Founders knew this, as did most intelligent societies over the millennia. It was reversed purposefully.
I totally agree. Straight out of Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America.
I have no plans to vote again. I haven’t since 2019.

Polk.

Andrew Jackson definitely owned slaves. I’ve been to The Hermitage, his plantation in Tennessee. That said, his personal slave refused to leave his side and is buried with him on the grounds.
So you just want proof of a filed tax return in order to be able to vote?
In fact, many who file a return do so in order to not only pay $0 federal and state taxes but to take advantage of tax credits from the feds and state. They get paid by filing a tax return.
There is 0 chance you don’t know that filing a tax return doesn’t necessarily mean one pays taxes.
