I've heard of and chatted with (on-line) several people who claim to not have paid income tax for the past 15 years. Claim it's unconstitutional and voluntary only. They spend most of their time trying to convince others to do the same....ASUG8 wrote:Try holding out a year or two and let me know how that works out for you.
If this is unconstitutional, then it should be easily defended by a semi-competent attorney representing a tax dodger, right? Except you never hear of that happening.
Some tax protestors like to argue that we can only be taxed by law, not by some mere "code" like the Internal Revenue Code. These protestors are often under the mistaken impression that the Internal Revenue Code was written by the IRS.
Basic Answer
This argument simply reflects ignorance of what the Internal Revenue Code is and where it came from.
The Internal Revenue Code is law. It was passed by the United States Congress. It does not come from the IRS. The IRS writes regulations that help implement the Code, but the Code itself was passed by Congress. Under the Constitution, if a bill is passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President, it is the law. That's what happened with the Internal Revenue Code, so the Code is the law.
The Code is called the "Internal Revenue Code" because that's the name chosen for it by the Congress. (See section 7701(a)(29).) So it does have the word "Code" in its name. But it is, absolutely, law passed by the Congress
