LOL, lot of tax protestors today.

1. It is not the IRS CODE BOOK. To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing.

2. The INTERNAL REVENUE CODE is codified in the U.S. Code. Specifically, Title 26.

3. Title 26 of the U.S. Code is considered prima facie law. The "positive law" or the Internal Revenue Code is contained in the U.S. Statutes at Large and anyone can read those at any Federal Depository Library. Title 26 is the codification of the Internal Revenue Code.

4. In Title 26, Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter A, Part 1 - "Tax on Individuals", § 1. "Tax imposed". It states, "There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of..."

5. In Kaetz v. Internal Revenue Service, 225 F.3d 649, 2000, the court says "He premises his argument, inter alia, on the belief that United States citizens only earn taxable ‘gross income’ when living and working outside the United States, and that the ‘Foreign Earned Income Form 2555 is the only form required to be filed by U.S. Citizens.’ He concludes his intricate deductive argument quite bluntly: ‘Goodbye Income Taxes on Citizens with domestic income.’ Id. at 18. The problem with his deduction is that it is based on false premises. Income earned in the United States, including salary, is taxable, see I.R.C. section 63, and ‘Gross Income’ can be quantified.”

6. There has never been a tax protestor in the past 95 years that has ever successfully convinced a court that they did not owe income taxes on income. While a few have beaten criminal charges, they have ended up paying more in taxes, fines and court costs, than they would have paid in taxes in the first place.

Edit: Tax code is not limited to only citizens either. That is also a frivolous claim. In Caniff v. Commissioner, 52 F.3d 328 (7th Cir. 1995) “Caniff’ claim that he is a non-resident alien is preposterous on its face. He acknowledges that he lives in Indiana. The tax power applies fully to each and every of the fifty United States, not just the District of Columbia.”

In Betz v. United States, 40 Fed.Cl. 286, 295 (1998) “Along with his claim that he is not a United States citizen, plaintiff further claims that federal laws, including the I.R.C., do not apply to citizens of the state of Washington, a ’compact state.’ Article I, section 8 of the United States Constitution grants Congress the power to ‘lay and collect Taxes.’ U.S. Const., Art. I, section 8. ... The Sixteenth Amendment provides that ‘Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.’ ... Pursuant to the authority vested in Congress under the Sixteenth Amendment to impose a direct income tax on citizens and residents of the United States comprised of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, Congress enacted Title 26 of the United States Code, the Internal Revenue Code.”

Note the decision states "income tax on citizens and residents", that's blatently obvious that the U.S. Code applies to more than just citizens. Saying the U.S. Code only applies to citizens would be like saying the law against robbery (also in the U.S. Code) only applies to citizens. I'm sure some Canadian could use that defense when they rob a bank in Maine. "You can't prosecute me! I'm a Canadian!" That argument is so blatantly wrong, have some common sense.
