is it true that in america there is actually no law stating you have to pay income tax?

Answer 1

You have to pay.

There is myth started by some clever people than income tax is unconstitutional. The 16th Amendment authorizes the income tax, but some people argue that it only allows the federal government to tax foreign citizens.

However, MANY court cases say otherwise. There's no getting around it. You must pay income tax.

Answer 2

The Constitution gives the Congress the power to lay and collect taxes to pay the debts of the government and to provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States. Congress is only permitted to levy two types of taxes.

1. DIRECT TAXES, which are subject to the rule of apportionment among the states of the Union.

2. INDIRECT TAXES -- imposts, duties and excises, subject to the rule of uniformity.

The US Constitution does not allow the federal government to use either of the two classifications to tax CITIZENS or PERMANENT RESIDENT ALIENS of the United States of America, DIRECTLY. The intent of the Founders was to keep the government the servant and to prevent it from becoming the master. (See Article 1, section 2, clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution.)

Answer 3
