Ask the IRS where the law is that requires a private sector citizen, earning his or her living within 1 of the 50 States, to file a tax return. They can't tell you because the law does NOT tax such earnings. The law is very vague about filing when it comes to private sector citizens but very clear when it comes to foreigners, non-resident aliens, foreign corporations, Federal Government employees at any level, Americans with possessions income (ex.. Income from Guam, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, etc.. which are things the Federal Government owns and can therefore tax whatever from them)and certain foreign based income for Americans.
Interestingly enough, the reason you will NEVER find any part of Title 26, USC, requiring a private sector citizen to file an actual tax return based on money earned in the private sector in any 1 of the 50 States is because there is no law. The reason there is no law is because the US Constitution doesn't allow for such form of taxation.
Article 1, Sec 8, Clause 3
Congress shall have power "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;" (my note: within the several states was never granted to congress, only among them in a general sense)
Article 1, Sec 9, Clause 4
"No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken"
The 16th Amendment does not authorize a new tax for those of you who are new to this.
Here’s the 16th amendment that was ratified in 1913 which many people assume gave congress a new power of taxation:
“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.” - - US Constitution, 16th amendment (1913)
The US Supreme Court case, Stanton v. Baltic Mining Co, 240 US 103 (1916) explicitly said "the provisions of the 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation"

The IRS claims to this day that their authority to lay this income tax directly upon a private sector citizen comes from the new power granted to it by the 16th amendment, which the court already ruled 3 years after the fact that the 16th amendment conferred "no new power of taxation". All the 16th amendment did was to classify the income tax as an "indirect excise" ... that's it! The big argument at the time was whether or not congress could lay an Income tax directly or indirectly. The Supreme Court in 1916 put this whole issue to bed when they ruled that the 16th amendment just confirmed that congress can ONLY LAY AN INCOME TAX INDIRECTLY. A tax that a private sector citizen is not required to pay when earning money in 1 of the 50 states! That is why you find all these parts of the law requiring monies that have to do with foreign transactions and Federal workers and employees as taxable. The US Constitution strictly prohibits direct taxation unless apportioned....period!
Go read the Grace Commission report instituted by Ronald Reagan and released in 1984... and learn where your personal income taxes go, which is to pay the interest on the debt of the federal government... here's that link....

And here’s an excerpt from the Grace Commission report:
“With two-thirds of everyone's personal income taxes wasted or not collected, 100 percent of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal debt and by Federal Government contributions to transfer payments. In other words, all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services which taxpayers expect from their Government.”
Huh, what did that say, 100% of what is collected is absorbed by interest on the debt and NONE OF IT GOES to pay for the services taxpayers expect from their government!
In short... THE IRS IS THE DODGER! Sad how many Americans don't even know what the law says yet they comply with the mystery tax law based on whether or not they will be prosecuted and possibly thrown in jail. And I don’t blame the American people for doing so. I file as well because I don’t want to deal with the wrath of an UNLAWFUL prosecution. But I DO NOT FILE BECAUSE I BELIEVE I OWE THE TAX! As if the use of force is the actual law itself. It is UNLAWFUL use of force against private sector citizens earning their money from within 1 of the 50 States when 1 of those citizens does NOT file a tax return based on a tax that is not even his/hers!
Americans have become the most complicit group of people (me included) in this GRAND mis-application of the income tax every year... year after year.... the BIGGEST FINANCIAL FRAUD perpetrated on the American people every April 15th. April 15th I would contend is the real April fools day.
