Picking one specific thing out of your sentence:

        Code Section 861 ... only apply if there is another
        section of the Code that requires you to determine
        either your gross income or your taxable income from
        a specific source or sources.

A burger flipper, who only flips burgers in the U.S. is our target of examination to test your assertion re: IRC 861.

BF, our burger flipper, is paid by ABC (American Burger Charbroil) for his labor flipping burgers in an ABC restaurant.

Q1. Is this gross payment for flipping burgers "income"?
Yes or no?

Q2. If you answer yes to Q1, is this "income" dictionary defined income? or constitutionally defined income.
Yes or no?

Q3. If you answer yes to Q1, is this "income" constitutionally defined income?
Yes or no?

Since the SC includes the 'gain derived from labor' in the definition of income, yes, yes, and yes.

Q4. Please cite the statute or regulation that supports your answer to Q1.

Section 61(a)(1) - gross income is all income from whatever source, including but not limited to compensation for services...

I set up this scenario:

A burger flipper, who only flips burgers in the U.S. is our target of examination to test your assertion re: IRC 861.

BF, our burger flipper, is paid by ABC (American Burger Charbroil) for his labor flipping burgers in an ABC restaurant.

I asked this question:

Q1. Is this gross payment for flipping burgers "income"?
Yes or no?

You replied: "Yes."

I asked this question:

Q4. Please cite the statute or regulation that supports your answer to Q1.

You replied: "Section 61(a)(1) - gross income is all income from whatever source, including but not limited to compensation for services..."

This citation is INCORRECT.

The proper wording is:

Except as otherwise provided in this subtitle, gross income means all income from whatever source derived, including (but not limited to) the following items: (1) Compensation for services, including fees, commissions, fringe benefits, and similar items;

I have dimmed the words that are of no consequence. I have highlighted the word of importance.

Q7. Did you correctly cite section 61(a)(1) when you left out the key word "DERIVED"?

Qx. Does the cited section state that "income is compensation for labor or services"?
Your citation of Section 61(a)(1) DOES NOT PROVE that gross payment for flipping burgers is "INCOME".
