After the tax advice is given, who must decide to take the advice? Doesn't the individual getting the advice decide to take or reject the advice? It so, isn't this issue really about "Voluntary Compliance"?

If the IRS Commissioner calls the code incomprehensable, shouldn't the code be "void for vagueness"? If the Commissioner wants to operate in good faith, shouldn't him/her stop all attempts to collect any disputed taxes, and issue refunds, until the code is made comprehensable?

where do you get your tax advice?

You'd figure with a federal mandate that you'd have uniform tax advice right?....wrong! In a reply to a letter from Larken Rose,the IRS advised that he use section 61 of the IRC and only section 61 to determine his tax liability.

Isn't this what tyranny and capricious govenment all about, they generate dissension and conflict.

There is clearly contrast between the only two advices on matters dealing with taxes ...... so which one do you choose? If you choose the IRS advice then you are liable since the IRS concures with the congress assertion that all income is gross income and therefore taxable income. This is why the IRS always ask if you've earned any income although the're actually basing you liability on wheather you earn gross income. They automatically assume the income you earn is gross income as perscribed by the congress.

If you choose the advice of the supreme court in Gould vs Gould, section 61 is factored out of the liability equation. How is that you might ask.
In advice #2 the supreme court advises that in case of any doudt it is strongly ruled in favor of the citizen and not the government.

Anyone who understands our government knows that the checks and balances of power is one of it's cornerstones. This means no one branch of government trumps the other.

I have some good news and bad news for tax protestors and tax advocates.
All branches of our government agree that the income tax is constitutoinal. However, they all don't agree that it applies to everyone. In defining gross income, which is the only!!! factor the IRS uses in determining taxable
income:
Congress asserts:IRC sec 61, All income is gross income (Legislative Branch)

Secretary of the treasury asserts: CFR sec 61, All income is gross income...unless excluded by law (Executive Branch)

The Supreme Court asserts: Not all income are gross reciepts (Judicial Branch)

It is apparent that the secratary and the supreme court do not concure with the congress assertion that all income is gross income. This clearly raises doudt as to the congress assertion that all income is gross income.
Since the secretary and the supreme court did raise doudt as to the congress assertion that all income is gross income, section 61 cannot be used to determine taxable income. We must 1)Determine if we are specifically pointed out as earning gross income as perscribed by the supreme court or 2)determine if we are excluded by law as perscribed by the secretary of the treasury.

During an examination interview, the examining officer stated the IRC is all they use in determining taxable income. Whats interesting is a component of the executive branch ignores the secretary of the treasury, who happens to be their boss, and adheres to the congress, whose definition of gross income differs from that of the secretary. Instead of factoring out section 61 of the IRC based on the doudt raised by both the secretary and the supreme court,
the IRS factor out the secretary and the supreme court elimenating the doudt.
(will continue)

emphasis added.

Who is the IRS, where in the Constitution is it provided that they can overrule the Supreme Court?
