IRS Forms Discussion 062399 Excellent additional input on deceptions, illusions and misunderstandings attributable to various IRS Forms. Quite technical, but fascinating -- and really illustrates the convoluted and absurd nature of the application of current "income" and "social security" tax law. ICE *************************** From: RHawks@aol.com Date: Wed, 23 Jun 1999 10:50:13 EDT Subject: Re: IRS Liens, in concept In reply to Ralph This is a "very" limited and redacted discussion of how government tax forms effect the application and imposition of taxes under Subtitle A of Title 26 United States Code. Forms W-2 are verified, but not for the purposes of Subtitle A of the Internal Revenue Code. They are verified by the submission of a form W-3, and merely attaching forms W-2 for Social Security. First, many argue that the 26 USC Subtitle C taxes, ie. the 42 USC, Social Security taxes (merely collected under 26 USC), are the actual nemesis for taxes under 26 USC Subtitle A. I believe this theory is in error. There are many different taxes under Social Security which are clearly "Separate and Distinct Taxes," and are not the same Income Taxes that are imposed under the Internal Revenue Code, Title 26 U.S.C., Subtitle A, infra. IRS FORMS Tax forms ARE NOT REGULATIONS, nor are they defined or described by statute. Tax Forms are a device created by the Secretary's regulatory authority. Tax Forms acquire statutory or regulatory status exclusively by the Secretary's prescriptive regulation 602.101, as mandated by Congress in the Paper Reduction Act. Thus tax forms become mandatory when linked by regulation and statute. Form W-2 and Form W-3 are forms for use with the Social Security Administration, and "not" a "prescriptive form" for use for or computation of taxes under Subtitle A. Hopefully I can explainBoth (forms W-2, & W-3) carry OMB Control No. 1545-0008. The Form W-3, per its instructions is a "sworn/attested legal instrument" to be used exclusively for the purposes of, and is the transmittal document (cover document) for all forms W-2 to the Social Security Administration. Its authority arises from 26 USC 6051 and its regulations, et.al. The form W-3 as a "sworn statement" can not be used for the purposes of 26 USC, infra. I take particular note in the fact that IRC 6051 provides that every person required to withhold and deduct taxes required under 3101 (Social Security) and 3402 (no tax imposed) and make a report or a receipt to the employee which includes the following; 1. the name (employer); 2. name of employee and SSN for 3101; 3. total amount of wages, 3401(a); 4. total amount deducted, 3402; 5. total amount 3121(a); total amount withheld as a tax, 3101; total amount paid under 3507, (credits). 26 CFR 31.6051-1(a), Statements for Employee; Pertains to provisions under Subtitle C, 3401 which includes, total amount of wages, 3401(a), total amount deducted, 3402, which in turn would obviously relate tax form W-4, amounts to be submitted on FORM W-2. These regulations also pertain to 3121(a); total amount withheld as a tax, 3101 to be submitted on the same tax form tax forms W-2, in Box 3 & Box 4, and W-3 totals, and required to be reported to the Social Security Administration by 26 CFR 31.6051-2(a). The amount reported in Box 1, (form W-2) however, merely represents the amount used to calculate the amount that was withheld pursuant to form W-4, in Box 2 for Subtitle C, 3401 et seq. It does not represent any taxable profit or gain for calculation under Subtitle A, 61(a). This amount does not subject you to tax, unless there is a statute in Subtitle A that imposes a tax on you. This is over withholding, if no tax is imposed. The Secretary's prescriptive regulation 602.101 omits all reference to 26 USC 6051. Briefly, the SOCIAL SECURITY ACT, 49 Statutes at Large, Chapter 531, pp. 620-648 August 14, 1935, H.R. 7260, Pub. No. 271, consisted of Eleven (11 separable) Titles imposing several "emergency taxes" some taxes were imposed directly employees based on employment and all taxes were imposed on employers. They are codified in Title 42 U.S.C., as amended. I find nothing in the original federal act that implies that this tax was voluntary for either party. The States' acts with regard to Social Security may be for qualified employees and employers, but this does not exclude the federal provisions, as they by themselves, can be operative independent of state law. It was the money benefit to the States, from the federal plan, that created the States acceptance and adoption of the federal program. **** The form W-2 is also used as an un-sworn statement (a receipt) required by 26 USC 6041, ie. employers payments of labor, and other payments; The question now is how does the Secretary now keep separate and distinct the ordinary (the payment of labor) source, from the taxable gain, profit, income, the benefits, or other source items, as amended, particularly on form W-2?, [see 26 USC 6041, 6051]. It certainly appears that form W-2 now merges, commingle or attempts to convolute all sources with taxable sources, benefits, and other matters which in turn appears to be contrary and in conflict with the law. Since the States generally use form W-2 this only creates greater conflict. Those familiar with form W-2 will recognize that there are three (3) boxes regarding total amounts reportedly used for calculations for withholding. The amounts reported in these Boxes, as it pertains to me, are all identical amounts. Box 1 - wages, tips, other compensation Box 3 - Social Security wages Box 5 - Medicare wages and tips Another question that has arisen is whether or not the amount in Box 1 is for an employment tax? There are two logical reasons why it can not. 1. The IRS can not impose a deficiency on a Subtitle C tax. A deficiency arises from a tax imposed by 26 U.S.C. Subtitles A., B., Chapters 41-45, of Subtitle D; and, 2. IRC 6041, Withholding at Source, (forms W-2, W-3, 1096, 1099) and IRC 6051 Receipts of Employees under IRC 3101 and IRC 3402, (employers, and form W-2). This is a clear separation only reported on the same form, Form W-2. The distinction is IRC 6041, which permits the single item report on form 1099 and summary transmittal U.S. Information Return, OMB 1545-0108. First, form W-2 is not reflective of any sworn or verified "legal determination" by the employer that the amounts paid (box 1) reflect any fixed or determinable or realized "gains, profits and income," as required by 6041, infra. Whereas, form W-3 is a sworn statement as to matters of Social Security. There is no reference in 26 CFR 602.101 to use any form 1545-0008 (W-2 series or W-3 series) in conjunction with form 1545-0074 (either form 1040 or form 3439). There is no reference in 26 CFR 602.101 to use any form W-2 or W-3 in conjunction with IRC 61(a) or CFR 1.61-1, et seq. or any tax imposed by Subtitle A., 1, CFR 1.1-1. If the amount (W-2, Box 1) was or is sworn to by the employer, as a profit and gain paid to you by the employer, then the cause of action is not against the [IRS], rather against the employer for his actual determinations, justifications and proofs of fact, as to fact as to how this was a realized profit and gain to you, and/or his perjury. If the amount is not sworn to as a fact, by the employer, then this amount can not be stated as a FACT, prima facia, presumptively, conclusively or otherwise as evidence, for application to any tax imposed by Title 26 Subtitle A. Thus a matter to be reckoned with in Court when W-2's are offered as evidence. One can stipulate to the fact that you were paid these amounts, but "not" as a boni fide "taxable" profit and gain. The LAW BREAKS DOWN The [IRS], requires the employee's form W-2 to be attached to IRS tax form 1040. The [IRS], by the instructions for form 1040, further requires the individual to transfer the un-subscribed and un-sworn information of Box 1 of form W-2 onto form 1040, (not Box 3), in such format and in such manner that the individual must claim that one's gross receipts, [generally the same as Social Security Wages], are now subject to tax under 26 USC Subtitle A, 61(a), (as gross income [profit and gain]) and/or represents one's gross or net yearly actual and realized profit. The fact that the individual voluntarily using form 1040 must declare, (as they have no alternative option or election to do otherwise), as a FACT his payments of labor are taxable gross income, as a taxable gross profit and gain. Whereas for some this may be true, however for most it is not true, and do all the above under the penalties of perjury. If find this a conflict of law, but an abominable position for the [IRS] to place the citizen in. Does any of this so far make sense to you ??? This is also gross error on the IRS, because; First, I do not believe that the IRS can require the submission of form (W-2), as an internal requirement of form (1040), which was not authorized or approved by any regulation correlated to 26 CFR 602.101. Secondly, when the submission of the amounts on form W-2 are contrary to IRC 6041 and 26 CFR 1.6041, as described herein. Thirdly, that form W-2 is required to be submitted to the Commissioner of Social Security and not the Commissioner of I.R.S. Fourth, see below First and foremost regarding IRC 6041 is its entitlement, INFORMATION AT SOURCE. IRC 6041 by its descriptions have by implication removed the source described in IRC 61(a) taking one step backwards to create the illusion that the payer is the source and not the payment. If true this would in effect make the labor the source, and not the gain or profit that proceeds from the labor. The format and procedure for tax forms W-2, W-3 returns is provided by 26 CFR 1.6041-1 et seq., and involves tax form 1096, OMB Control No. 1545-0108; and seven (7) tax forms 1099, OMB Control No. 1545-0110, -1112, -0115, -0117 through -0120. Forms 1096 and 1099 are not applicable to this discussion. 26 CFR 1.6041-2, Employee forms W-2 are to be made in conjunction with regulations 6011 and employment regulations for Social Security. Regulation 1.6011-1 does not specifically name tax form 1040, however 602.101 does list OMB form 15450074, but does not list OMB form 1545-0008. 26 USC 6011, informs me, "(a).. when by regulations any person "made liable" for any tax imposed by this Title .., Regulations; 1.6041-1(2)(a) pertains to "certain" (unknown) payments; while 1.60411(2)(d)(1-4) enumerates specific payments; 1.) payments for life insurance, 2.) fees paid to attorneys, physicians and other professions, 3.) paid as prizes, 4.) disability payments. None are believed to apply to me. Furthermore, an employer does not have standing to declare the applicability of law applied to me, particularly on an un- sworn document. Particularly when the amounts reported on form W- 2 in box 1, are not recognized by me, nor can be legally recognized or determined by the employer as any determinable "gain, or profit" in this exchange of property, IRC 64. What is most conspicuious is that if logic were to prevail every 1040 filing requirement [OMB Control No. 1545-0074] in regulation 602.101 (because of the inclusion on tax 1040 of a W- 2) would equally require NOTICE of the W-2, [OMB Control No. 1545-0008] - IT DOES NOTThe illusion of taxation is thus created merely by tax forms 1040, W-4 and W-2. This why the [IRS] insist on form 1040, or use it for the basis of their calculations. I still find it "interesting" that none of the IRS tax forms, ie. form 1040, form W-4, or form W-2, pertain to IRC 1 or 61(a) or any actual tax imposed by Subtitle A., which applies to me. This only a small part of much larger documents ... hope it Helps Hell, the MAFIA does not have it anywhere this good. The [IRS] call me a tax-protester, ,,,, perhaps a jury, upon reading this, may call them "..... THIEF."
