No excuses for failing to pay your income tax
Washington AP reports that while tens of millions pay and file, some insist on frivolous arguments. Courts have ruled there are no grounds in the Constitution or law to avoid filing or paying taxes. The 16th Amendment, ratified Feb 3 1913, authorizes the tax. Taxpayers may appeal via IRS and Tax Court but cannot disobey tax laws. Civil and criminal penalties may follow tax disputes.
