Article 1... Section 8: "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes" hmmmm, lets go further.... Amendment 16: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration." wow that's damning... what else we got... Code of Laws of the United of America, this looks important too... Title 26: Internal Revenue Code... Subtitle A (1): Well this all income tax code. Looks like libertarian stupidity strikes again! 400440 2010-12-12T02:37:40-08:00 Jason Hey Henk, You might want to check out Title 26 of the United States Code, which very clearly spells out that there are income tax laws do in fact exist. Not only is there not "no law", there are several laws about it. 400460 2010-12-08T23:52:44-08:00 PD I pay may taxes for that i get a real civilization which includes road, police, fire dept school and such, unlike 3 world contries 400430 2010-10-08T20:13:43-07:00 Peter I have been selling stuff online without any business license or company for the past 2 years. Never thought it's an issue since I also have a W2. Now I want to do the right thing by incorporation and report all earnings from now on. I hope the IRS won't find out my previous paypal transactions in the past 2 years. 400450 2010-10-05T20:19:05-07:00 fran So nice that you folks avoid paying taxes--while no doubt expecting the services. Meanwhile, I ride crappola transit to a lousy neighborhood to work at my crummy job and pay taxes on every cent. And have done so for 43 years. Stupid me. 400380 2010-06-07T12:55:02-07:00 Henk Glimlach Amazing... Even more so because THERE IS NO LAW THAT STATES THAT AN INDIVIDUAL IS REQUIRED TO PAY A DIRECT INCOME TAX. You only live with the level of tyranny you're willing to accept! Read the Constitution!!! 400400 2010-01-18T13:13:24-08:00 john doe i found a nice loophole. i've got a mate that lives somewhere (where taxes don't apply since it's so poor there... undisclosed for security reasons) i send all my goods to him as donations. then he sells them online. he gives me the profits under the table. i've been doing it for years and years. who's laughing now fat man!!!!? bahahahahahaha 400390 2010-01-08T17:06:49-08:00 gwen Thanks very much for this- it is extremely helpful. I have not been sure whether to report my very small income from selling used clothes, but now I feel much more clear on the matter. Thanks! 400420 2010-01-06T12:41:12-08:00 jille "One day I finally turned to him and asked him if he was reporting his eBay earnings as taxable income on his federal income tax." Sounds like his money-making operation was driving you nuts with envy. 400410 2009-08-26T08:59:26-07:00 ian Do you just collect tax on items you sell in your home state? Or every transaction no matter what?
