Canceling Your Social Security Number

Yes you can cancel your social security number and opt out of federal taxes

Per the SSA,

“People generally cannot voluntarily withdraw or stop participating in the Social Security program. You must pay Social Security taxes, regardless of you or your employer’s citizenship or place of residence. Unless specifically exempt by law, everyone working in the United States must pay Social Security taxes on earnings from covered employment. The law makes an exemption only in very limited circumstances for members of certain religious sects.”

“IMPORTANT NOTICE — This is a request to withdraw your application. If we approve it, the decision we made on your application will have no legal effect. You will forfeit all rights attached to an application, including the rights of appeal. You will have to return any payment we made to you or anyone else on the basis of that application. You must then reapply if you want a determination of your Social Security rights at any time in the future. Any subsequent application may not involve the same retroactive period. We intend for you to use this procedure only when your decision to file has resulted, or will result, in a disadvantage to you. Your local Social Security office will be glad to explain whether, and how, this procedure will help you.”
