Was the sixteenth ammendment ever ratified?

I remember reading an article a few years back from a former IRS employee who was making the case that it wasn't.

Does anyone know?

It is a dead debate and a waste of time because the issue has been settled in our courts. The only chance now is repeal.

well, some people claim Ohio wasn't actually a state until 1953, because the US COngress never actually made them one in 1803. And, because Ohio was one of the states to ratify the amendment, blah, blah,

Then was Taft never President? What about the elections and Ohio's electoral votes and votes by Ohio representatives and senators in Congress? what a legal headache.

When they passed the thing as part of Ohio's 150th anniversary in 1953, they set it all retroactive to 1803. Thus, making all argument null and void anyway. I guess.
