When was the sixteenth amendment ratified?
Never. In order for an amendment to be properly ratified, it must be ratified in its EXACT language, by 3/5 of all of the states. While it seems that enough states did ratify a variation of the amendment in some form or another, it was never ratified in its exact language by enough states. This did not, however, prevent it from being added to the Constitution, and becoming de facto "law". It was never properly ratified. There are various institutions offering enormous cash rewards to anybody who can prove otherwise, as of yet, no takers.
