Do all federal tax laws have to be passed by the Internal Revenue Service before becoming valid laws?

Question

Please help! I'm confused.....

Answer 1

Congress passes all federal tax statutes. The IRS adopts rules on how to implement those statutes. befopre the rules are adopted, the public is allowed to comment on the proposed rules. If rules are adopted that members of the public do not like, the public can sue the IRS and ask the courts to strike the rule and make the IRS adopt a different rule.

Actually, Congress passes all statutes, and every agency that is charged with implementing a statute adopt rules on how to do it. An example of the difference between statutes and rules is this: The statute passed by Congress states the long-term capital gain trax rate shall be 10%; the Rule adopted by the IRS states what information must be reported to prove it is a long-term capital gain instead of a short-term capital gain.

Answer 2

The irs is a collection agency. It does not pass laws.
Laws originate in the house of representatives, , to the Senate, and to the president.
The IRS performs a service, but has no lawmaking authority.

Answer 3

no the irs may write a suggested law but it still has to pass through congress and be signed by the president.
