Title 26 Section 1, et seq. of the United States Code says you have to pay duly calculated income taxes. Anyone who says that income taxes are unconstitutional has not read the Sixteenth Amendment to the US Constitution, which states: " Congress shall have the 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."

Don't believe that damn piece of spam that says there's no law requiring Americans to pay an income tax. It ain't true. Never has been true. And if you believe it to be true you are going to get reamed. Title 26 of the US Code is the Internal Revenue Code. Section 1 starts out, "There is hereby imposed on the taxable income..." and then it goes into extreme detail as to what "taxable income" is.

Yes. The law in question is the Revenue Act of 1913, made under the power bestowed by the 16th Amendment. The current version is published as Title 26 of the United States Code, and as The Internal Revenue Code.
