No, dissolution of the IRS regulations are part of the bill. The repeal of the 16th is a separate issue.

The implementation of the FT needs to be tied directly to the repeal or it will never fly.

Of course, the various other gaping flaws in the FT concept (re-taxing pre-taxed income, overburdening retirees and the like) will keep it from passage regardless.

The FT legislation cannot repeal the 16th Amendment. It does defund collection activity.

The 16th merely authorizes an income tax. It doesn’t require one.

Repeal will require the same action as any other amendment.

Does it require a constitutional amendment to repleal a constitutional amendment? If so, then it would require approval by 3/4 of the state legislatures.

No it isn't. I wonder why the Fairtax supporters feed you this kind of misinformation? They also let you make fools of yourselves by not correcting you, allowing you to keep repeating it...

I wonder why they think they need to do that?...It must come from the Scientology roots.
