If you are a U.S. American complaining about the taxes taken out of your payroll...
QUIT YOUR BITCHING!

I ask this question rhetorically because you don't know what you don't know.

What statute in the Internal Revenue Code, using clear and unequivocal language as required by the Supreme Court, makes a private Citizen liable for subtitle A - income taxes on his or her domestically earned compensation for labor?

In much shorter form: Show me the law?

You can't. Neither can the IRS.
That is because things that do not exist can not be shown.

As a point of logic, the person making a claim has the burden of proof. That makes it my burden of proof to show evidence supporting my claim that no law exists imposing a tax on your compensation for labor. I will point out that the IRS made their claim first. So they really should provide the law that imposes a tax on a citizen's compensation for labor.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) presented this fact:
If it is law, it will be found in our books; if it is not to be found there, it is not law.
Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 616, 627 (1886)

The Internal Revenue Code, (IRC) is Title 26 of the United States Code (USC).
The USC is where you will find the federal internal revenue laws.

The tax is imposed upon a taxable item.

Sec. 1. Tax imposed
There is hereby imposed on the taxable income of -

Just as there are "conventions" (accepted standards) and formats for English writing, there are "conventions" and formats for legal writing. If you don't know this, you would assume that section 1 of the IRC is the statute that makes you liable for a tax on your compensation for labor. And you would be wrong.

So I am going to present another tax law to illustrate the format of IRC tax law.

Sec. 5001. Imposition, rate, and attachment of tax
There is hereby imposed on all distilled spirits produced in or imported into the United States a tax at the rate of $13.50 on each proof gallon and a proportionate tax at the like rate on all fractional parts of a proof gallon.

The making a person liable for the tax is done by a different section.

Sec. 5005. Persons liable for tax
The distiller or importer of distilled spirits shall be liable for the taxes imposed thereon by section 5001(a)(1).

The making a person liable for the section 5001 tax is done using "clear and unequivocal language" as required by the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) presented this ruling: [T]he well-settled rule ... the citizen is exempt from taxation unless the same is imposed by clear and unequivocal language, and that where the construction of a tax law is doubtful, the doubt is to be resolved in favor of those upon whom the tax is sought to be laid... SPRECKELS SUGAR REFINING CO. v. MCCLAIN, 192 U.S. 397 (1904)

As can be seen in section 5005, there is no doubt as to who is required by law to pay the tax in section 5001.

This format is just as clear if one searches Subtitle A of the IRC, which I have done.

I have found and read with my own eyes, the law that makes the following classes of person liable for the income tax imposed in section 1 "by clear and unequivocal language".

Sec. 2. Definitions and special rules, (d) Nonresident aliens
Sec. 641. Imposition of tax
Sec. 701. Partners, not partnership, subject to tax
Sec. 871. Tax on nonresident alien individuals
Sec. 876. Alien residents of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, or the Northern Mariana Islands
Sec. 877. Expatriation to avoid tax
Sec. 1461. Liability for withheld tax
Sec. 1474. Special rules, (a) Liability for withheld tax

The preceding classes of person are specifically pointed out as being required to pay (made liable for) the income tax imposed in section 1. This liability is imposed in language that is just as clear and unequivocal as the distilled spirits tax liability you were shown previously. This liability is not implied. There is no doubt and there is no question that those classes of person are liable for the section 1 income tax.

Working stiffs in the U.S. of America are not those persons.

Section 1 again: There is hereby imposed on the "taxable income"

SCOTUS wrote:
Decided cases have made the distinction between wages and income and have refused to equate the two in withholding or similar controversies.
Central Illinois Public Serv. Co. v. United States, 435 U.S. 21 (1978)

SCOTUS wrote:
We must reject in this case, as we have rejected in cases arising under the Corporation Excise Tax Act of1909 (Doyle v. Mitchell Brothers Co., ante, 179, and Hays v.Gauley Mountain Coal Co., ante, 189) the broad contention submitted in behalf of the Government that all receipts--everything that comes in-are income, within the proper definition of the term "gross income,"...

[Dale Eastman]

Please note that an income tax liability is not a wage tax liability.

    §3402. Income tax collected at source
    (n ) Employees incurring no income tax liability
    Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, an employer shall not be required to deduct and withhold any tax under this chapter upon a payment of wages to an employee if there is in effect with respect to such payment a withholding allowance certificate (in such form and containing such other information as the Secretary may prescribe) furnished to the employer by the employee certifying that the employee—
    (1) incurred no liability for income tax imposed under subtitle A for his preceding taxable year, and
    (2) anticipates that he will incur no liability for income tax imposed under subtitle A for his current taxable year.

While you read the next quote, ask yourself if it is possible that you have voluntarily agreed to pay taxes you don't owe.

    §3402. Income tax collected at source
    (p) Voluntary withholding agreements
    (3) Authority for other voluntary withholding
    The Secretary is authorized by regulations to provide for withholding—
    (A) from remuneration for services performed by an employee for the employee's employer which (without regard to this paragraph) does not constitute wages, and
    (B) from any other type of payment with respect to which the Secretary finds that withholding would be appropriate under the provisions of this chapter,
    if the employer and employee, or the person making and the person receiving such other type of payment, agree to such withholding. Such agreement shall be in such form and manner as the Secretary may by regulations prescribe. For purposes of this chapter (and so much of subtitle F as relates to this chapter), remuneration or other payments with respect to which such agreement is made shall be treated as if they were wages paid by an employer to an employee to the extent that such remuneration is paid or other payments are made during the period for which the agreement is in effect.

Doesn't that subsection allow you to voluntarily allow withholding on non-taxable revenue? Doesn't that subsection allow you to voluntarily donate money to the IRS that is not payment of a tax?

Dear IRS,

SCOTUS has said:
   In the interpretation of statutes levying taxes it is the established rule not to extend their provisions, by implication, beyond the clear import of the language used, or to enlarge their operations so as to embrace matters not specifically pointed out. In case of doubt they are construed most strongly against the government, and in favor of the citizen." GOULD v. GOULD, 245 U.S. 151 (1917).

 SCOTUS has said:

[T]he well-settled rule ... the citizen is exempt from taxation unless the same is imposed by clear and unequivocal language, and that where the construction of a tax law is doubtful, the doubt is to be resolved in favor of those upon whom the tax is sought to be laid...

[Dale Eastman]

What statute makes me liable for taxes on my domestically earned compensation for labor?

If you claim 26 USC section 1 answers the first question, you didn't understand the question.

This question is not to be confused with a separate question as to what statute imposes a tax on my domestically earned compensation for labor?

No liability for said tax, no requirement to pay.

Since I'm getting spammed by ignorant or dishonest tax preparers, I'm returning the favor by asking this question. Please note all the failures and refusals to answer this very specific question about tax law.

Original Comment: ➽ Now is the perfect time to request relief for IRS back taxes (including penalties and interest).

Dear IRS

Please answer this question:
What statute in the Internal Revenue Code, using clear and unequivocal language as required by the Supreme Court, makes a private Citizen liable for subtitle A - income taxes on his or her domestically earned compensation for labor?

If you fail to specifically answer with 26 USC §x??x, where §x??x is the statute number, then you have admitted that there is no statute imposing liability for an American's domestic compensation for labor that is taxed in 26 USC §§ 1(a), 1(b), 1(c), 1(d), 1(e).

➽ My friend, as a tax strategist, you help your clients reduce their taxes with unique strategies that most preparers don’t know about.

Me too. I tell YOUR clients that no law taxes their domestic compensation for labor.

Ask the IRS this question:

What statute in the Internal Revenue Code, using clear and unequivocal language as required by the Supreme Court, makes a private Citizen liable for subtitle A - income taxes on his or her domestically earned compensation for labor?

I've yet to get a current IRS agent involved in a discussion.
