Setting the fields 'address' option on the Payment Element to never (it still renders the address fields that I can not extract)
it should not do that.

Sorry I think you went down a rabbit hole here but that was likely based on an incorrect assumption. If you want to calculate tax based on the customer's address you need to first collect the address

Right, but the Payment element collects it for us.

Is there any way for us to allow Payment Element to not collect the address so we can prompt the user for their address on our own application?

Otherwise: Is it possible to extract the address field data from the Payment element?

Is there any way for us to allow Payment Element to not collect the address
yes by passing the never option

Ahh, I missed that the address field was a subsection of billingDetails!! We're good now. Thanks!!

Sure thing!
