where is it written in law that we have to pay a federal income tax? and what does it state?

Title 26 of the US Code. Google it.
Basically it states that if your income exceeds the filing requirement amount for your filing status, you must file and pay any tax due.
The instructions from the IRS are based upon Title 26. Unless you are dealing with a complex issue where there is conflict within the law (and those do exist) you can safely assume that the IRS instructions are correct. There is no conflict about the basic legality of Title 26, however. That is indisputable and the fools have tried have lost 100% of the time.

IRS tax law.
The IRS is nearly the most important department of the federal government.
They always win, you end up paying not only your original tax bill, but a 100% penalty and interest and if they think you purposefully did not pay taxes, you will get Federal Prison time too.
Keep in mind that Al Capone did not ever do one day in jail for any of his crimes. They could not pin the murders, bootlegging, prostitution or drug running on him.
He did over 10 years for tax evasion.

good luck with that. The 16th replace to the U.S. shape states that Congress shall have the ability to place and collect taxes on earning, from regardless of source derived, without apportionment between the numerous States, and without regard to any census or enumeration. multiple regulations handed in view that then have wide-unfold the IRS and created the tax code. Violating any area of the enormous tax code is a contravention of regulation. The police powers of the State are used to enforce the tax code and different violators are imprisioned and fined each and every 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. you could connect them, do purely no longer pay your taxes or do no longer report. good luck with no longer paying with the aid of fact in case you artwork for somebody else they're going to deduct the taxes out of your pay in the previous you even see it. Its purely like while an organisation violates an OSHA regulation what regulation have they broken.

You have broken one or more sections of the Internal Revenue Code, such as sections §§ 6011(a) , 6012(a) , et seq., and 6072(a). Failure to file a tax return could subject the noncomplying individual to criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, as well as civil penalties.
You want to read the whole tax code, be my guest, but set aside at least a couple of weeks. Check with your closest law school library.
If you've fallen for one of those "income tax is voluntary" idiocies, well, think again.

For 2007 the penalty for frivolous return has become $5,000 from $500 in the year 2006. Not filing tax return on this ground is also frivolous return.

If the fact that they system has been in place and functioning and passing muster with the supreme court for over 80 years isn't enough to convince you they you are suffering from oxygen deprivation.
