Where is the law stating that one must pay taxes on wages for labor?

Answer 1

Great??? Another tax protester.

How about this? Stop paying taxes and tell us what happens. If you are successful, then you can get rich selling your "secrets" to the entire nation. We will get to see your infomercials at 3 am on some unknown cable network along with that guy Clee something or other with the pencil thin mustache selling his "body cleansing system."

Answer 2

In 1913, the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. It empowered Congress to tax "incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." The Internal Revenue Code is today embodied as Title 26 of the United States Code (26 U.S.C. and is a lineal descendant of the income tax act passed in 1913, following ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment. While some states do not have an income tax (Nevada), all residents and all citizens of the United States are subject to the federal income tax. Not everyone, however, must file a return. The requirements for filing are found in 26 U.S.C. section 6011
All U.S. Citizens are subject to tax on their "Gross income", which can be generally defined as "all income from whatever source derived;" a more complete definition is found in 26U.S.C. section 61. Also 26 U.S.C. section 6012 defines who must file a tax return.

Play around until you can look these up,
Sixteenth Amendment , 26 U.S.C. § 6011., 26 U.S.C. § 61., 26 U.S.C. section 6012

If you still don’t believe look around until you find the part that says you can go to prison if you don’t do it.

Answer 3

Our current income tax system was passed into law by the Revenue Act, and payroll taxes were passed into law by the following:

Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA)
Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA)
State Unemployment Tax Act (SUTA)

The authority to collect taxes has been upheld by pretty much every court in the land. If you visit a law library, you'll see rows and rows of tax case books giving the details of every ruling in the country for decades, either by the tax courts, the district or federal courts, the circuit courts, and the Supreme Court.

(In the event you plan on taking this to the next level, please honor us with your information so that we can all follow your progress. The next time someone comes here to ask this question, we can use your prison sentence as a recent example.)

Answer 4

Title 26 - Internal Revenue Code

http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/26

Note: Nowhere will you find that it says labor is taxed. It doesn't have to. The law says that "income" is taxed and the courts have always said that wages, salaries, commissions, etc. are income because that was Congress' original intent.

File your returns and pay your taxes. You will be much happier in the long run.

Answer 5

Title 26 United States Code. Congress makes the laws the IRS just enforces them.
