Here are two questions that the IRS is not able to answer.

1) Which statute establishes my liability for a federal income tax?

2) Which statue establishes the requirement that I file a federal income tax return?

For each question above, please cite the title, subtitle, section and operative language.

The IRS never answers these questions. The answers do not exist.

I know a few people who do not pay taxes on the compensation for their labor. The smart thing to do is just STFU about not paying. Doesn’t work too well if you have a job, but very simple if self-employed. IRS will pretty much leave you alone if you don’t broadcast your non-payment.

One guy I know stopped paying got a form from the IRS asking him to sign a form stipulating to an implied income and a tax liability to go along with it. He declined to complete the form and return it. In reality, it was a contract for which he had no obligation to sign. The IRS called him once about it and asked why hadn’t returned it. He never heard from the IRS again.
