is there a law stating that is is legal to tax the wages of american citizens?

Question

if there is can you tell me where i can find it?

Answer 1

Section 61 of the Internal Revenue Code (Title 26 of the United States Code) includes in gross income all income from whatever source derived and lists wages specifically. There are a number of lowlives out there who will try to convince people that the Internal Revenue Code was never enacted, that the Sixteenth Amendment was never ratified, that wages can be exchanged tax free for labor, that you can declare yourself a citizen of a state and not of the United States, that dollars aren't dollars because we dropped the gold standard, that you can join their church and contribute half your earnings to yourself. All of that is a bunch of lies. Sometimes the people telling you them honestly believe their own lies, but they are still lies.

Answer 2

It's called the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26 and 26A of the United States Code. You can view these and other federal statutes at: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/uscode/browse.html.

Answer 3

16th Amendment was ratified in 1913 giving Congress the right to tax income.

Answer 4

Yes, the 16th amendment to the Constitution. That is why the IRS has powers other agencies do not have.
