U.S. Federal Income Tax

Subjugation by taxation

Duties Imposed by IRC Section 6011

Table of Contents

Internal Revenue Code
Sec. 6011. General requirement of return, statement, or list

(a) General rule
When required by regulations prescribed by the Secretary any person made liable for any tax imposed by this title, or with respect to the collection thereof, shall make a return or statement according to the forms and regulations prescribed by the Secretary. Every person required to make a return or statement shall include therein the information required by such forms or regulations.

        Every word is to be given meaning. 

 U. S. v. Lexington Mill & Elevator Co., 232 U.S. 399 (1914)

'We are not at liberty,' said Mr. Justice Strong, 'to construe any statute so as to deny effect to any part of its language. It is a cardinal rule of statutory construction that significance and effect shall, if possible, be accorded to every word. As early as in Bacon's Abridgment, 2, it was said that 'a statute ought, upon the whole, to be so construed that, if it can be prevented, no clause, sentence, or word, shall be superfluous, void, or insignificant.' This rule has been repeated innumerable times.'

        IRC section 6011(a) creates no duty unless one is "made liable".  The only place in Subtitle A dealing with "income" taxes where a person is "made liable" is in section 1461 dealing with aliens and foreign corporations.

TITLE 26 - INTERNAL REVENUE CODE
Subtitle A - Income Taxes
CHAPTER 3 - WITHHOLDING OF TAX ON NONRESIDENT ALIENS AND FOREIGN CORPORATIONS                     
Subchapter B - Application of Withholding Provisions
Sec. 1461. Liability for withheld tax

Every person required to deduct and withhold any tax under this chapter is hereby made liable for such tax...

        Are you "made liable" by this section? 

         Notwithstanding the narrowing of focus by the inclusion of the word "made",   These duties can NOT be imposed if one is NOT actually liable for a tax to begin with.  The authority to make regulations in regard to IRC section 6011 is predicated upon one having a liabilityNo liability, no need to examine the regulations under this IRC section 6011.

Internal Revenue Code
(g) Income, estate, and gift taxes

For requirement that returns of income, estate, and gift taxes be made whether or not there is tax liability, see subparts B and C.
