Best Answer

The Revenue Act of 1913.

And thhe income tax code IS law, Chapter 24 of the US Laws, as made, voted on by Congress and signed by the President.

The 16th amendment of the Constitution also addresses the right to make the laws doing so, although it in itself is not a law saying one has to pay.
