"The hardest thing in the world to understand is income tax."

Wrong!
Poster: PDF - The law


	WHAT ? The US Tax Code and the Code of Federal Regulations show that income for most Americans is "excluded, or eliminated for federal income tax purposes." You can easily see this with a computer because the Income Tax has been codified. Download 26-CFR: * orig. source: GPO Search Options TEXT/HTML version (a repaired copy of the broken original from the GPO, the most accurate, search it on your computer). PDF version (easy to search, compiled into one file). GPO eCFR Don't download anything. Instead, search the eCFR (the most user-friendly, online search tool available from US Government source). Or Compile your own copy of 26-CFR (we'll tell you how to make a complete copy of all sections from the GPO, something even they didn't bother to do until late 2004 [2005]... Not fun, but possible).

Did you know the Income Tax/Money Scam has been made into a movie?

Aaron Russo, who made the movies "The Rose" with Bette Midler, and "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy, made a movie that exposes the politicians and their income tax fraud.

See the trailer: America: Freedom to Fascism

Have you searched Income tax law for deductions or excluded income?

You should. You work between 37 and 130 days each year to pay politicians your Income tax. If you search law with your computer, you won't have to read thousands of pages of tax "code" just to find deductions or excluded income.

Search tax law using the official source, the Government Printing Office. It's easy, and you won't believe what you will find. However, unlike your tax software ... you can find every deduction.

"Ignorance of the law is no excuse" - Right?

Tax PRO? Have you searched Income tax law? It's your duty. Ignorance is no excuse.

Tax Professionals?
• "income that is exempt"
• "Income that is not"
A real pro would already know (the exact section number). Ignorance?


	Simple Search (easy as A, B, C)

Go to US Government Printing Office - Electronic Code of Federal Regulations
http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov
Click on Simple Search
Enter Title 26, and Search for...
- excluded income - Sec. 861
- eliminated income - Sec. 861
- eliminated items - Sec. 861
- specific sources - Sec. 861
- specific guidance - Sec. 861
- how to determine taxable income - Sec. 861
- the sources of income for purposes of the income tax - Sec. 861
- exempt, eliminated, or excluded income - Sec. 861
- deductions to excluded income - Sec. 861
- exempt income - Sec. 861. (Search using <i>exempt income</i> for italics)
- “exempt income” - Sec. 861. (Use “exempt income” for "quotes")
- “deductions” - Sec. 861. (Use “deductions” for "quotes")
- income that is exempt or excluded - Sec. 861 (Excluded)
- income that is not considered tax exempt - Sec. 861 (Taxable)

According to the Government Printing Office, all of these subjects are located in Section 861.

Why Section 861?

1) What is taxed? 2) What is excluded?

"Income that is not ... exempt" Income that is exempt AND Income that is not. Just another line in the sand. "income that is exempt or excluded"

*Result: Section 861-8T(d)(2)(ii) and (iii)

*The evidence for Sec. 861 is found in all the search results listed above (all placed by lawmakers in Sec. 861). This includes "Exempt income", which is legally defined (codified) in Sec. 861.


	According to the "code", only "Foreign earned income"* is not exempt (taxable).

Google Also Confirms Section 861

Google has a Government search engine called Uncle Sam, which will search only through government websites, including every statute and regulation written. And notice, after searching through every .gov website, including all written laws, Sec. 861 is the first result.

Search Google's Uncle Sam

Notice, the regulation defining "exempt income" is written in Section 861-8T (Google, Uncle Sam: Jan. 2010).

1. First result: Electronic CFR

2. Regulation = Sec. 861-8T

3. Exempt defined & taxable listed

Also search Google's "Uncle Sam" for:

• "how to determine taxable income"
• "the sources of income for purposes of the income tax"

IRS is bound by the regulations ...

Sec. 861, Frivolous?
Judges say section 861 is frivolous, regardless of their own computer-precise results (excluded income, etc). They say, if you follow the tax laws written in section 861, you're making a frivolous argument and must be fined, and then imprisoned.

Honestly, "Your Honor"? Punishing people for following the law?

Aren't exclusive, one-time instructions applicable to everyone?

"how to determine taxable income"
"the sources of income for purposes of the income tax"
"exempt, eliminated, or excluded income"
Source: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov

So, What do think your computer (tax software) would do if given such code instructions? Notice, these instructions cannot be confused with other laws or regulations, because ...they're exclusive.

And, there is no need to pretend "tax code" is harder than it really is, because "excluded income" occurs for the first time (within all tax law) in section 861. And, among thousands of sections, only ONE section of U.S. law has "codified" instructions for "how to determine taxable income" ...Section 861. Frivolous? Or, just a simple fact?

Taxpayer? Tax Professional? Judge? Can an expert still be called "expert" but not even know where "Exempt income" is legally defined (codified, i.e. written)? Is a judge actually qualified to judge another's tax case, but remain ignorant of the codification of "excluded income"?

Judge? Search the Income tax law. It's your duty!
A judge?
Do you even know where "Exempt income" is codified (legally defined)?
Have you considered
• "Income that is not considered tax exempt"
• "excluded income"
• "specific sources"
Fact:
Lawmakers do not read the laws they pass, and, clearly, neither do judges. Be professional, Have some "honor". Search!

Don't accept ignorance! It's your DUTY to know the law. Search the Official Source: U.S. Government Printing Office http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov

Print this list. Give it to an "expert". And, take some to a tea party.

Obey the law. It's your duty.

Ask your Congressman and Senator ...

If "Exempt income" is "defined" in Sec. 861, why is Sec. 861 frivolous?

Answers: If you want answers, you can try asking the press - the American media and foreign media.

The Code of Federal Regulations

When searching tax law, we pay close attention to 26 CFR...

"the Official Interpretation"

"Federal Income Tax Regulations (Regs) are the official Treasury Department interpretation of the Internal Revenue Code"
- Internal Revenue Manual, 4.10.7.2.3.1

"Federal Tax Regulations pick up where the Internal Revunue Code (IRC) leaves off by providing the official interpretation of the IRC"
- http://www.irs.gov/taxpros/article/0,,id=98137,00.html

The Code of Federal Regulations are the rules, written in plain English, which both the public and the IRS must follow:

"The Service is bound by the regulations."
- Internal Revenue Manual, 4.10.7.2.3.4

Since "the Service is bound," we can be sure that we are playing by the same rules. It does not require a law degree to understand them. See How to Search and Search Examples.
