The powers forbidden to the US Congress (and Federal Government in general) are listed in the US Constitution in a very simply fashion. Congress is permitted those powers specifically stated (and implied) in the Constitution. Powers not enumerated in the Constitution are reserved for the States, or for the People. So what is permitted to the Congress is listed, but not what is forbidden.
Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution lists those powers.
It would be impossible to list "implied powers," as they're flexible and designed to fit circumstances as they arise. Implied Powers are those not enumerated by the Constitution (but not prohibited by it, either), but necessary to carry out government functions and responsibilities that arespecifically mentioned.
Congress has no authority to exercise any power beyond the constitution. The 10th Amendment states, "The powers not delegated to the United States (congress) by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." Article 1 Section 8 specifically names the powers that have been granted to Congress. If it's not on the list, it's not constitutional.

Ok, this question is missing the list of powers that are needed to determine what the other powers would be.
