Can anyone tell me where I am required to pay income taxes by being a worker in the private sector? |
I just need the law that states where im required by law to pay income taxes! Title 26 of the US Code is the codification of the Internal Revenue Act and is the prima facie law covering taxes. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode... Specifically, section 1 imposes the tax. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode... Section 61 defines gross income. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode... Section 62 covers computation of adjusted gross income. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode... Section 63 covers computation of taxable income. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode... Section 6012 covers persons required to file returns. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode... Section 3402 covers withholding of taxes at the source. In other words, the requirement that employers have to withhold taxes from an employee's pay. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/uscode... If you have heard or read some theory that income only means corporate profits, that theory is wrong. In Central Illinois Public Serv. Co. v. United States, 435 U.S. 21, 25 (1978), the court stated, "Wages usually are income..." In United States v. Connor, 898 F.2d 942, 943-944 (3rd Cir. 1990), the court said, "Every court which has ever considered the issue has unequivocally rejected the argument that wages are not income." In United States v. Koliboski, 732 F.2d 1328, 1329 n.1 (7th Cir. 1984), the court said, "...the defendant still insists that no case holds that wages are income. Let us now put that to rest: WAGES ARE INCOME. Any reading of tax cases by would-be tax protesters now should preclude a claim of good-faith belief that wages--or salaries--are not taxable." The court capitalized those three words above. Here we go again.....another tax protestor...... The law: Title 26 - Internal Revenue Code http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/... Amendment 16 of the US Constitution states "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived..." and Congress has used this power liberally since this was ratified in 1913. Each state also has a constitution and all but a couple levy some form of Income Tax. US Constitution Title 26 of the US Code. yawn. don't pay, it's fine with me - we need prisoners, too. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/friv_tax.... |
