I have heard on the radio that Paying taxes is not a law, that it is optional but yet there are people who do NOT pay taxes at all. Is there anyone out ther who knows anyting about this as well as the law of 1913 that supports this??

You have to pay your taxes, ONLY because the IRS is a thuggish operation who will take you out if you mess with them. There is no law that requires you to pay income tax.
Furthermore, the IRS is the collections agency of a private bank, known as the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is indeed a private operation that was given congressional sanction by the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. That is a fact, and those who ignorantly deny that refuse to accept verifiable truth.

The Internal Revenue Code is contained in Title 26, United States Code. The word Code means that the LAW has been codified, and is enforceable. See the link below, which is accessible directly from the IRS web site under Tax Professionals, then under Code, Regs. & Guidance. A couple of more clicks, and you're taken to the Cornell Law School Legal Information Institute. Under Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter A, Part I, is Section 1, the section that IMPOSES an income tax on taxable income earned by individuals, estates and trusts. Section 11 imposes a tax on taxable income earned by corporations. Etc., etc., etc.

Yes, you have to pay your taxes. This story goes around every year around this time, but it's just some people talking trying to get attention, there's no truth to it.
What happened in 1913 is this: when the income tax was originally proposed, the Supreme Court held that it was unconstitutional. So Congress passed the 16th Amendment to the Constitution authorizing the income tax. The Amendment was ratified by the states on February 3, 1913, making it the law of the land.

incorrect. The case's dismissal had not something to do with the Stilley's PRA fantasy or the different tax protestor nonsense. The case replaced into disregarded because of the fact the IRS brokers, working with imperfect information due the the defendant's refusal to cooperate, used the incorrect foundation in computing the defendant's earnings on the sale of condo residences. That blunders introduced approximately an misguided tax computation. they got here upon their blunders, recommended the decide and Stilley, and asked pass away to amend the indictment. That replaced into refused. The dismissal curiously would not avert charging Lawrence with those crimes back, yet quite precludes attempting him based on the winning indictment. If the DOJ needs to proceed, they're going to might desire to get a sparkling indictment.

Don't believe everything you hear. This is a common thing for some unknowledgeable people to say - and when they get to court over it, they LOSE.

It's a voluntary tax system, not optional. And you have to be rich enough to qualify for the loopholes.
