WHY ALL STATES DEPEND ON FEDERAL DETERMINATION TO TAX YOU


     In Order for any State to tax income they must ask permission from the Federal Government. That permission can be found in Title 5 U.S.C. 5517, and 5520. These statutes are for State, County and City respectively. I will put these sections here so you can see why an agreement must be written and in the hands of the state before they are allowed to lay a tax on income.

Sec. 5517. - Withholding State income taxes
(a) When a State statute -

     (1) provides for the collection of a tax either by imposing on employers generally the duty of withholding sums from the pay of employees and making returns of the sums to the State, or by granting to employers generally the authority to withhold sums from the pay of employees if any employee voluntarily elects to have such sums withheld; and

     (2) imposes the duty or grants the authority to withhold generally with respect to the pay of employees who are residents of the State;

     the Secretary of the Treasury, under regulations prescribed by the President, shall enter into an agreement with the State within 120 days of a request for agreement from the proper State official. The agreement shall provide that the head of each agency of the United States shall comply with the requirements of the State withholding statute in the case of employees of the agency who are subject to the tax and whose regular place of Federal employment is within the State with which the agreement is made. In the case of pay for service as a member of the armed forces, the preceding sentence shall be applied by substituting ''who are residents of the State with which the agreement is made'' for ''whose regular place of Federal employment is within the State with which the agreement is made''.

(b) This section does not give the consent of the United States to the application of a statute which imposes more burdensome requirements on the United States than on other employers, or which subjects the United States or its employees to a penalty or liability because of this section. An agency of the United States may not accept pay from a State for services performed in withholding State income taxes from the pay of the employees of the agency.

(c) For the purpose of this section, ''State'' means a State, territory, possession, or commonwealth of the United States.

(d) For the purpose of this section and sections 5516 and 5520, the terms ''serve as a member of the armed forces'' and ''service as a member of the Armed Forces'' include -

   (1) participation in exercises or the performance of duty under section 502 of title 32, United States Code, by a member of the National Guard;
and

   (2) participation in scheduled drills or training periods, or service on active duty for training, under section 10147 of title 10, United States Code, by a member of the Ready Reserve
   Parallel authorities for 5 USC 5517 (from CFR) 31 C.F.R. 215

Sec. 5520. - Withholding of city or county income or employment taxes

(a) When a city or county ordinance -

   (1) provides for the collection of a tax by imposing on employers generally the duty of withholding sums from the pay of employees and making returns of the sums to a designated city or county officer, department, or instrumentality; and

   (2) imposes the duty to withhold generally on the payment of compensation earned within the jurisdiction of the city or county in the case of employees whose regular place of employment is within such jurisdiction;

   the Secretary of the Treasury, under regulations prescribed by the President, shall enter into an agreement with the city or county within 120 days of a request for agreement by the proper city or county official. The agreement shall provide that the head of each agency of the United States shall comply with the requirements of the city or county ordinance in the case of any employee of the agency who is subject to the tax and

     (i) whose regular place of Federal employment is within the jurisdiction of the city or county with which the agreement is made or

     (ii) is a resident of such city or county. The agreement may not apply to pay for service as a member of the Armed Forces (other than service described in section 5517(d) of this title). The agreement may not permit withholding of a city or county tax from the pay of an employee who is not a resident of, or whose regular place of Federal employment is not within, the State in which that city or county is located unless the employee consents to the withholding.

  (b) This section does not give the consent of the United States to the application of an ordinance which imposes more burdensome requirements on the United States than on other employers or which subjects the United States or its employees to a penalty or liability because of this section. An agency of the United States may not accept pay from a city or county for services performed in withholding city or county income or employment taxes from the pay of employees of the agency.

  (c) For the purpose of this section -

     (1) ''city'' means any unit of general local government which -

    (A) is classified as a municipality by the Bureau of the Census, or

    (B) is a town or township which, in the determination of the Secretary of the Treasury -

      (i) possesses powers and performs functions comparable to those
associated with municipalities,

      (ii) is closely settled, and

      (iii) contains within its boundaries no incorporated places, as defined by the Bureau of the Census, within the political boundaries of which 500 or more persons are regularly employed by all agencies of the Federal Government;

   (2) ''county'' means any unit of local general government which is classified as a county by the Bureau of the Census and within the political boundaries of which 500 or more persons are regularly employed by all agencies of the Federal Government;

   (3) ''ordinance'' means an ordinance, order, resolution, or similar instrument which is duly
adopted and approved by a city or county in accordance with the constitution and statutes of the
State in which it is located and which has the force of law within such city or county; and

  (4) "'agency'' means -

     (A) an Executive agency;

     (B) the judicial branch; and

     (C) the United States Postal Service

Parallel authority 31 CFR 215

     Right from these you can see that the majority of people reading this are not those that are required to be liable for the income tax. The proof is in 31 CFR 215, which is rather large to place here. But the important points in 31 CFR are in the very beginning, which I will include here. There is another half way down. It would behoove the reader to go to the other sections on the government web page to see how they are totally working a fraud on the people of America when claiming we all owe an income tax when they cannot even supply the liability statute as what lies in the ATF section of 26 U.S.C... This is what the "Qualified Income Tax" as listed in 26 USC
6361 et sec. states, as well as Treasury Decision 7577 of January 22, 1979, Bull. No. 1979-4. You see when we found out about this the IRS pulled section 6361 as if it was repealed but it still exists as no repealing statute exists for it to be repealed. In the summary of the 6361 it states under General Rules;

This document provides final regulations relating to Federal collection and administration of qualifies State individual income taxes. Changes to the applicable tax law were made by the Federal-State Tax Collection Act of 1972 [Pub. L. 92-512, 1972-2 C.B. 684, 694] as amended by the Tax Reform Act of 1976 [Pub.L.94-455, 1973-3 C.B. (Vol.1)1] These regulations provide the States with guidance needed in determining whether to elect Federal collection and administration of their individual income taxes."

Dear reader, have you yet seen any mention of the private sector employer or their employees mentioned that is subject to all these statutes and regulations for them to tax your pay, whether state or federal?

Now as to the question, can the state garnish your pay is answered here in Title 5. The answer has to be no, even when reading the last two sections of the above 5520 (a) (n) (1) and (2), when reading this section especially since the above does not state a private sector employee or employer. Remember the term "agency" and ask yourself the question , Is my employer an "agency" by definition in 31 C.F.R. 215?

Sec. 5520a. - Garnishment of pay

Now here are the parallel authorities for 5520(a)

5 CFR part 582
32 CFR part 112
32 CFR part 113
39 CFR part 491
So let us look at one to see if your pay can be garnished by the state.

Title 5 -- Administrative Personnel
CHAPTER I -- OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Part 582 -- Commercial garnishment of Federal employees' pay

Does this mention that your pay can be garnished? Only if you are an employee of a "AGENCY." To further clarify you are not to be subject to any garnishment for income tax is found in the notes of the 5520(a) section
EX. ORD. NO. 12897. GARNISHMENT OF FEDERAL EMPLOYEES' PAY
Ex. Ord. No. 12897, Feb. 3, 1994, 59 F.R. 5517, provided:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including section 5520a(j)(1)(A) of title 5, United States Code, as added by section 9 of Public Law 103-94, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. The Office of Personnel Management, in consultation with the Attorney General, is designated to promulgate regulations for the implementation of section 5520a of title 5, United States Code, with respect to civilian employees and agencies in the executive branch, except as provided in section 2 of this order.

Sec. 2. The Postmaster General is designated to promulgate regulations for the implementation of section 5520a of title 5, United States Code, with respect to employees of the United States Postal Service. William J. Clinton

Now with all this background in mind you can see that you first have to be liable for a federal income tax before a State can require you to pay a State income tax. That is why the Congress cannot answer the people that placed the question as to what makes the common man in the states liable for an income tax. There are no such liability statutes for a personal income tax as shown here.

I will take one State's income tax agreement, which is well over 50 pages, to show what all States have to have in order to begin to have any right to lay a tax on income upon certain people that are not necessarily you. If a State says they have no Tax Agreement they are either lying or do not want to be caught in their R.I.C.O. action towards all people in the state that are not an "agency" employee and their employers are not defined as an "Agency" subject to an income tax withholding.

New Jersey had a tax agreement long before they instituted their income tax scam in 1976 and the Tax Agreement shows that to be. When reading the Agreement you will note many pages carrying the same page number. That is because within the Agreement are addendums and other agreements that have to have their own page 1, 2 , 3 etc., etc. The previous agreement concerned ATF type taxes, motor fuel taxes, etc. The list is extensive and with the new Tax Agreement now includes personal income tax since the State had to make a new Agreement to institute a personal income tax on "AGENCY" employees.

Many people have asked their states for the Tax Agreement only to be turned away by the state people saying they don't know what the party is asking or they say they don't have one. Now all of you reading this know it is a lie and they are covering up the fact that when one gets this Tax Agreement the scam will be uncovered, especially when the people start digging into what I am presenting here. The State of North Carolina is in the category of play dumb mode, but in the State of North Carolina instructions to fill out a NC1040 Form, it clearly states that you are to fill out a NC 1040 on the determination that you are liable for a federal tax and if you don't have to file a federal tax than fill out a NC 1040 as if you did have to file a federal 1040. Now I ask you, how much double speak can one take from government that is out to rob you of your non taxable pay? How can you fill out a NC 1040 when you have no federal tax liability to go by to fill out a NC 1040? It's the same as saying, fill up this milk jug as if you had the milk to fill it and if you don't you will be prosecuted..

You will note in the Tax Agreement document of New Jersey the Agreement tells the State to rely on the IR Code sections listed and in the federal government manuals that are included in the Tax Agreement they tell the State exactly what is to be written in the letter to the taxpayer when they notify him of a tax due. With this in mind I want you to note these pages in the IRS manual supplied to each state, they are page 1272-381, 382. Then page 1272-386 showing gift tax is under a BMF not an IMF. Pages 1272-395, 395 shows the letter IRS tells the State you should receive when you don't do some things they say you should, like not filling up the milk jug when you have no milk. . And finally Exhibit (33) 00-3 showing all the States having a tax agreement and what federal codes apply. What it particularly interesting, that many of us already know, is look what state has the Department of Treasury listed. Is it where everyone thinks it is in D.C.? Now I refer you to 27CFR part 250.11. This just so happens to be the regulation for 26 USC "Collection Authority," as cited in 68 A Stat. 775 and 70 Stat 391 and found in T.C. ATF-48 Federal Register 13551, Mar. 31, 1978 as required by Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations Subpart B section 21.40 and 21.41.

It is well known by the true researches in America that 80 percent of the American men and women do not have a tax liability and neither the Congress nor the Private Internal Revenue Service will provide that which cannot exist. They would be bending over backwards to give it to you if there was one that affects the common man and woman living in the areas called North Carolina, New York, California, etc., etc.. Now I did not say State of North Carolina, New York, or California for a reason, which is too complicated to go into as this for Tax Agreements Only.
There are no statutes written by Congress that imposes a tax liability for the private man or woman and that is why no State can write a statute that imposes a liability either. The proof is in the State of North Carolina tax instructions that says the federal liability determines state liability. Absent this federal liability, the State personnel are involved in one gigantic R.I.C.O. action against the people in conspiracy with the Internal Revenue Service..

So with that I now present the State Tax Agreement that all States are mandated to have to implement their income tax scam.

Chapter (33)00
Disclosure to States for Tax
Administration Purposes

page 1272-361
(9-28-83)

General  
   (1) The exchange of confidential tax information between the IRS and the States is intended to increase tax revenues and taxpayer compliance and reduce duplicate resource expenditures. Congress has recognized the importance of this exchange program by permitting the disclosure of certain confidential federal tax information to State agencies for tax administration purposes. However, Congress balanced this disclosure authority with additional requirements designed to safeguard Federal tax information against misuse and unauthorized disclosure. A fundamental step toward reducing the risk of unauthorized disclosures is the emlination of unnecessary disclosures. Many of the guidelines, requirements and programs out lined in this Chapter were developed with this goal in mind.

   (2) District Directors are assigned responsibility for liason with State tax authorities and are to be personally involved in the cooperative tax adminstration program. In those States having more than one district, the Regional Commissioner assigns liason responsibility to a spcecifc district.

   (3)   The following terms are defined for use in this Chapter:
         (a) "State"---any of the fifty States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Canal Zone, Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands.
        (b) "State tax administration" the administration, management, conduct, direction, and supervision of the execution and application of the revenue laws (or related statutes) of the State, the development and formulation of State tax policy relating to existing or proposed revenue laws (or related statutes) of the State, including assessment, collection, enforcement, litigation, and statistical gathering functions under such laws and statutes. The term does not include non-tax functions of a State agency such as the determination of eligibility for unemployment compensation or the collection of such benefits if erroneously paid.
       (c) "basic agreement"---- the Agreement on Coordination of Tax Administration execut-
ed by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the head of a State tax agency.

        (d) "implementing agreement"-- an agreement, complementing the basic agreement, entered into between the head of a State tax agency with which IRS has finalized an agreement on coordination of tax administration and the IRS District Director who is assigned liaison responsibility with such State tax agency'

        (e) "liaison district" -- the district responsible for liaison with the State tax agency.

        (f) "non-liaison district" -- used with reference to multi-district States only, the district(s) other than the liaison district. A multi-district State is a State which ahs more than IRS district within its borders.

        (g) "affected service center" -- the service centers(s) responsible for processing returns of taxpayers residing in liaison and/or non-liaison districts and which will be involved
 in exchanging data with a particular State tax agency.

(33) 20                                                               1272

Disclosure may be made in response to a written request by the head of the agency, body or commission only for the purpose of, and to the extent necessary in, the administration of such laws. The request may designate reqpresentatives to inspect or receive copies of the returns or return information but such representatives may not include any individual who is the chief executive officer of the State or anyone who is not an employee or legal representative of of the agency, body or commission.

Disclosures to be Based on Need and Use

   
(1) Disclosure of Federal returns and return information to a State agency under section 6103 (d) (1) will be restricted to the agency's justified State tax administration need for and use of such information (see policy statement P-1-35).

agreement on coordination of tax administration and each data item provided in magnetic tape format.

   (2) Every effort will be made to eliminate disclosure of unnecessary information to State tax agencies. Requests for copies of tax returns are to be carefully reviewed to determine what specific information is needed and whether a copy of the entire return should be provided. For example, the agency may only need information concerning a specific item of information or schedule. If so, the needed data can be extracted for the agency or a copy of only the necessary schedule provided. Tolerances and criteria will be established with regard to information which the agency cannot use will be screened out. See (33)41.2:(1)(b)2 for further discussion on tolerances and criteria.

   (3) In discussions and documentation of the particular State tax agency's need for and use of specific information, it is understood that the State tax agency may subsequently use the Federal returns and return information for any State tax administration purposes authorized by the basic agreement even though such subsequent uses were not discussed or noted in the liaison district's documentation records.


   (4) Disclosures made to State and local agencies under Code sections 4102 and 6103 (k ) (5) will likewise be subject to the same "need and use" restrictions as described above.
