From the 11 April 1982 St. Joseph [Missouri] News-Press:

Corn refused for taxes

Brookville, Ohio (AP) — Farmer Ralph Dull offered to pay part of his 1981 tax bill in corn, but the Internal Revenue Service declined.
Dull, 53, offered 300 bushels of corn, worth about $2.50 a bushel, as a symbol of “the need for the United States government to balance the budget by not cutting human services but by reducing military spending by at least $100 billion.”
Tom King, assistant chief of the IRS taxpayer service division in Cincinnati, told Dull the corn payment wasn’t acceptable.
“I can appreciate his feeling, [but] we’re going to ask for payment in cash or check — in legal tender,” King said. “We will not accept a truckload of grain as payment for his taxes.”
Dull, who farms about 1,000 acres, is a member of the Brethern [sic] Peacemakers of Southern Ohio, a subcommittee of the Church of the Brethern [sic].

Around the middle of April as the federal income tax filing deadline approaches, tax resistance articles hit the media frequently. Here are some examples from past years:

“Tax Deadline Brings Protest And Ice Cream” The [Sumter, South Carolina] Daily Item 16 April 1981: A post-tax-day wrap-up quotes war tax resister Ed Hedemann, and also Jack O’Malley, one of three Catholic priests in Pittsburgh who were refusing to pay war taxes.
“Farmer tries to pay his taxes with grain” 16 April 1982: A news report on tax day protests includes a mention of “Seven Pittsburgh priests [who] will refuse to pay about a third of their federal income taxes in a protest against the nuclear arms race” and of war tax resister Ralph Dull, who “drove a truck filled with 325 bushels of corn to the IRS office in Dayton” in lieu of cash payment.
“Protesters resist military taxes” The [Pennsylvania State University] Daily Collegian 16 April 1987: Rita Snyder, Kathy Levine, and Donald Ealy quoted about the war tax resistance movement.
“War tax resisters refuse to pay Uncle Sam” The Nevada Daily Mail 16 April 2003: Bill Ramsey, Jenny Truax, Rebekah Hassler, Tom & Suzanne Makarewicz, and Mary Loehr mentioned and/or quoted.
