Yes, they're under the same rules as everyone else receiving wages. I can't give you a citation where it says this in the tax code, because the IRS defines things differently. Instead of listing what income is taxable, they say everything is taxable unless they specifically exempt that type of income from tax. And there's no exemption for Federal employees. A federal employee in a particular circumstance could fit a category to exclude income. But the IRS agent looking at your tax return is also paying income tax :-)

Employer's Tax Guide, IRS Publication 15.
Page 4:
"Income tax withholding. Withhold federal income tax from each wage payment ... according to the employee's Form W-4 and the correct withholding rate."
Page 6:
"Federal Government employers. The information in this guide applies to federal agencies."

Federal Employees do pay taxes, Federal employees must file timely, must pay if amount is owed. If a federal employee doesn't file, he/she could lose their job.
nothing to cite.

While the government doesn't enforce it as well as they should for independent contractors, all federal employees are required to be current on their taxes. Failing to file, failing to pay or having audit issues is grounds for dismissal from the IRS.

Sure, the federal employees including the ones reside in the US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samao and Commonwealth of the Northern Wealth Islands pay income taxes for any wages they earned just like non federal employees do.

Of course they do. No citiation is needed as there's no law that exempts them. Can't cite what doesn't exist.
