Hey, so how did you feel when you received your first paycheck? I was pretty excited, I'll be honest. I worked for weeks and weeks, and there in the sealed envelope was my very first hard-earned compensation. I had so many plans about what I was gonna do with the money, but those hopes were brutally dashed the moment I read the bottom line. By the time the money actually got to me, it had been sliced up like a pizza. An alphabet soup of government agencies each got their cut before I did. But what are taxes anyway? How do they work and how do we end up with this present system? First things first, the basic idea of taxation is pretty simple. There's some sort of state or similar authority that imposes a levy on an individual or a legal entity like a corporation or something. If you can't pay, then you can be charged with a crime. This is a very old concept, it dates back as far as Mesopotamia and Egypt's Old Kingdom. Nowadays, the taxman is not going to beat the crap out of you for being late, but the system is way, way more complicated. In the United States, the taxes you pay vary from person to person, from company to company, from check to check, and then from state to state. However, most people do have to pay the federal income tax. And the US tax system is huge. "Complex" doesn't even begin to describe it. A better word would be Byzantine, which I looked up earlier. In 1913, Congress passed the sixteenth Amendment, and the sixteenth Amendment says this specifically: "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states and without regard...

Revocation of election to pay income tax Form: What You Should Know
In his famous book, The Revocable Federal Tax Election, the late Chief Justice of the United States. Arthur J. Goldberg, Jr. and the late Judge Kenneth W. Starr, Jr., discuss numerous instances where there has been a revocation of a tax election, but still a tax payment is made. For example, after a taxpayer revokes an election to exclude from income any amount received for a contribution to political campaign, the taxpayer does not then get to deduct the contribution against the income tax. It is not that the election was revoked, but rather the taxpayer just made a payment of tax due from a former political supporter under the old rules. For the taxpayers who received tax refunds on their tax refunds, this is a significant situation as political campaign contributions are now subject to the 10% tax withholding and not the lower income tax rate of 5.25% (for some taxpayers). Such taxpayers must file Form 940, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, and deduct the 10% tax withheld, which makes this kind of revocation or payment very difficult, because tax due from the former political contributor will be deductible. On the other hand, with Section 501(c)(3) organizations, a revocation of an election to exclude the income from a discharge of indebtedness to a former political friend or donor is a very good situation (the donor is no longer obligated to make further contributions to that political cause) and the IRS will issue the necessary order to the former source of the donation to allow it to be fully deductible against the income tax. A Form 968 can also be used to revoke an election to use the deduction for charitable contributions and to deduct the full amount of donations made by individuals who become members of political committees or political party committees. Although the revocation can be made without any action by the taxpayer, it must be stated on the tax return and will affect the tax liability as well as the amount of the deduction. There are also a number of cases in which a donor has made a contribution to a candidate and his election to exclude the contribution is revoked when the organization discloses that the contribution was made to the candidate himself. For example, the Supreme Court of the State (D.C.) of California found that the revocation of an election to exclude income derived from the donor's sale of a business to his former colleague had not been made.
