For the benefit of lurkers, and to avoid the "they could't refute what I said" nonsense:

This is mostly gibberish, but with a kernel of truth, which is that, under the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., "Title 26"), wages are taxable income. That's the law.
What is gibberish is the idea that you can "enter" a court "under Title 26" and that might somehow change what law applies or what result the court might reach. The Internal Revenue Code has been enacted by Congress and under the Constitution it is the "supreme Law of the Land" which must be respected by all courts.
Stija can't accept the fact that his theories are gibberish, so he makes up more gibberish to try to explain why his gibberish loses in court. His gibberish loses in court because it's gibberish, and not because of some magic about "entering" the court "under Title 26."

No,
income taxes are not "voluntary." It is COMPLIANCE that is "voluntary." The federal tax system relies on people filling out tax returns and writing checks to pay their taxes, rather than forcing the government to collect taxes by deficiency assessments and levies.
“In assessing income taxes, the Government relies primarily upon the disclosure by the taxpayer of the relevant facts. This disclosure it requires him to make in his annual return. To ensure full and honest disclosure, to discourage fraudulent attempts to evade the tax, Congress imposes sanctions. Such sanctions may confessedly be either criminal or civil.”
Helvering v. Mitchell, 303 U.S. 391, 399 (1938).
Filling out an income tax return is "voluntary" is the same way that stopping at a stop sign is "voluntary." Traffic laws are for the most part self-enforcing, and we expect people to follow the law even when there are no police there to watch. Yes, you can drive through the stop sign if you like, and you will probably get away with it, but that doesn't make it legal.

The business about Form W-4 being some kind of agreement or consent to tax is nonsense.
A W-4 merely sets withholding levels. If you fail to provide a W-4, your employer withholds anyway.
“The notion that the federal income tax is contractual or otherwise consensual in nature is not only utterly without foundation but, despite McLaughlin’s protestations to the contrary, has been repeatedly rejected by the courts.” McLaughlin v. United States, 832 F2d 986 (7th Cir. 1987).
And section 3402(p) is about voluntary withholding from payments which are not otherwise subject to withholding. It has nothing to do with the *required* withholding from wages.

More nonsense. The IRS provides no "service" other than collecting taxes.
This will especially useful if your deeds ever catch up to you and the prosecutor figures out that you were posting here.
It's still dead, as are stija's "theories" (if anyone can understand a collection of numbered sentences, apparently replying to other posts, but without identifying what they are intended to be replies to.)
