The IRS cannot point to a specific law that imposes income tax because it does not exist. If it does exist, surely they would put many debates to rest by simply pointing it out. Income tax is a voluntary tax (voluntary compliance) and is not a direct apportioned tax nor an indirect tax that citizens are required to pay. While it is a popular myth that everyone needs to pay income taxes, it is actually enforced againt the constitutional rights guaranteed to all US citizens. The IRS points to the 16rh Ammendment to justify the collection of income tax; however, supreme courts have ruled that the 16th Ammendment gives no further rights of the US government to tax its citizens. These decisions have never been overturned by any preceeding supreme court cases and must be upheld. Furthermore, the IRS defines income as "gains from corporate activity" meaning that any regular citizen who works in private business does not even make income as according to this definition. So these are reasons that the IRS won't provide the law, or cannot provide the law. It is simply not there.
