Actually 6012 tries to say who is required to file returns... not pay taxes.. and is an enforcement code.. not an imposing code.....
You have to establish who is required to actually pay before any return requirement can apply...
The privacy act states that you must file a return or statement with us for any tax
you are liable for.
The only code that shows who is liable is
3403..
Only employers and withholding agents are liable...
Now who are withholding agents?
7701 (a) (16)
(16) Withholding agent. The term ''withholding agent'' means any person required to deduct and withhold any tax under the provisions of sections
1441 - Withholding of tax on nonresident aliens
1442 - Withholding of tax on foreign corporations
1443 - Foreign tax-exempt organizations
1461 - Liability for withheld tax
Sooo.. citizens aren't liable for taxes on U.S. wages.
Now.. the form required to be filled out pertinent to 6012 has an OMB number of 1545-0067.. This is form 2555 - Foreign Earned Income
1.6012-0................................ 1545-0067
Form 1040 is used if there are refunds, deductions, etc for what taxes that are required, but not for a requirement to pay..
This could go on forever....
What the law says and what the courts do can be two totally different things because of the confusions and gray areas of the code...
If you want to get to the guts of it all and like to read alot,
it's all here with the codes references and the whole speal.....
Not a conspiracy site... just all the guts...
