Larken Rose shows and explains in great detail why the tax code is correct and also by rigorously following the code it shows that most Americans don’t owe any Income taxes.
He has two web sites.

If you listen to these interviews he shows how the code has been misinterpreted by most tax officials.

"Conventional wisdom," even when provably incorrect, is a very powerful thing. People often find it uncomfortable to question things they have always taken for granted. The sky is blue; one plus two equals three; and most Americans owe federal income taxes. Everyone knows that.
Contrary to what "everyone knows," the truth of the matter is this: Congress could not, and did not, impose a tax on the income of most Americans, because of the strict limits on federal power imposed by the Constitution. Instead, they imposed a far more limited income tax, applicable primarily to income from certain types of international and foreign commerce, but wrote the law in such a way that it could easily be misinterpreted. The law itself is perfectly valid and constitutional; it is simply being misrepresented and misapplied by the tax professionals and government officials. As a result, tens of millions of Americans now make payments to the IRS based on the false assumption that they are just paying "their taxes." In reality they are being defrauded via the myth that the income of most Americans is taxable.
Of course such a claim at first sounds absurd, but the evidence does not lie. Here is a very brief summary of the issue:
1) The federal income tax is imposed upon "taxable income" (not all income).
2) "Taxable income" generally means "gross income" minus deductions.
3) "Gross income" is generally defined as "all income from whatever source derived," including compensation, interest, rents, dividends, etc.
Up to this point, the tax professionals agree. It is what comes next that they are either unaware of, or unwilling to accept when they see it in plain English in the law books.
4) Certain sections of the law specifically describe in which situations income from inside the United States is taxable.
5) While those sections show income to be taxable when it derives from certain kinds of international and foreign commerce, they do not show the income of United States citizens living and working only in the 50 states to be taxable.
Amazingly, points 4 and 5 above are specifically and repeatedly stated in the federal income tax regulations, yet most tax professionals simply refuse to believe it. As if that were not bad enough, there is yet another, completely independent way that the regulations prove the truth.
6) The regulations show that the types of income listed in the general definition of "gross income" (such as compensation, interest, rent, etc.) are in some situations excluded for federal income tax purposes.
7) The income tax regulations give a specific list of those types of income which are not exempt (i.e. which are taxable), and while that list includes income derived from certain types of international and foreign commerce, the income of the average American is not listed as being non-exempt (i.e., taxable).

(Subtitle C "employment" taxes, sometimes called "Social Security" taxes, are independent of the income tax and are not dealt with by this web site. However, the issue addressed on this site does apply to the "self-employment" tax (26 USC § 1401).)
Some tax professionals will eagerly respond to the above by saying "don’t waste time looking into that stuff; it’s all nonsense." Their income, careers, and reputations all depend upon the preservation of "conventional wisdom" concerning the income tax. Most are literally psychologically incapable of even considering the possibility that their assumptions are incorrect. (It is amazing to watch how some of these so-called "experts" respond when they are faced with what the income tax statutes and regulations actually say, as shown below.)
While so-called "tax experts" are likely to suggest that you just accept on faith that they know best about tax law, we at this site do not suggest that anyone just "take our word" for anything. Ours is a system of written law, where the words of the law tell you what the law requires of you. We believe that the readers of this site are competent enough to examine the evidence for themselves to determine what the law requires of them. (In fact, the law requires you personally to determine what you owe.)

(Ironically, public faith in conventional wisdom about the income has been strengthened by the "tax protestor" movement spreading all sorts of theories and arguments, from the ineffective to the downright absurd. Many people assume that if conventional wisdom about the income tax were incorrect, the "tax resistance movement" would know the truth. Unfortunately, those protesting the tax or arguing that it is unconstitutional are also ignorant about what the law itself actually says. Click here to see some of the more common "tax protestor" theories, and why they are incorrect. The ultimate irony is that the pro-freedom advocates in this country have become gun-shy about questioning the conventional wisdom about the tax, precisely because of the failures of the "tax protestors.")
The truth about the law does not require any "creative interpretation" or leap of logic. It just requires looking in the right place, reading carefully, and believing what the words in the law say in black and white.
