I think you're right about the IRS. It is legal for the IRS to tax us, regardless if it was approved by Congress, or whatever. It is already well-established and there is no way they will let people get out of paying what they owe over technicalities.

Besides fining you, garnishing your wages, seizing money in your bank accounts, making you pay back taxes with interest, they also might arrest you, too. They can seize your assets also. So people, don't mess around with the IRS unless you have 100 million people revolting with you.

Also, I want to point out to the OP, like someone else did, that the IRS is not based in Puerto Rico. They have offices in different places across the country. A phone number for an advocate, is probably for the benefit of Spanish-speaking people. Just because you find an address somewhere in an IRS booklet, don't assume you know what it's for. That is really dumb.

Might someone with legal expertise explain what an advocate is, and why it would be in Puerto Rico?

The Law: There is a host of constitutional and statutory authority establishing that the Internal Revenue Service is an agency of the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court stated in Donaldson v. United States, 400 U.S. 517, 534 (1971), "[w]e bear in mind that the Internal Revenue Service is organized to carry out the broad responsibilities of the Secretary of the Treasury under § 7801(a) of the 1954 Code for the administration and enforcement of the internal revenue laws."

Pursuant to section 7801, the Secretary of Treasury has full authority to administer and enforce the internal revenue laws and has the power to create an agency to enforce such laws. Based upon this, the Internal Revenue Service was created. Thus, the Internal Revenue Service is a body established by "positive law" because it was created through a congressionally mandated power. Moreover, section 7803(a) explicitly provides that there shall be a Commissioner of Internal Revenue who shall administer and supervise the execution and application of the internal revenue laws.

Relevant Case Law:
Salman v. Dept. of Treasury, 899 F. Supp. 471 (D. Nev. 1995) - The court described Salman's contention that the Internal Revenue Service is not a government agency of the United States as wholly frivolous and dismissed his claim with prejudice.

Young v. I.R.S., 596 F. Supp. 141 (N.D. Ind. 1984) - The court granted summary judgment in favor of the government, rejecting Young's claim that the Internal Revenue Service is a private corporation, rather than a government agency.

What people do not know is that the so called Founding Fathers
and King George were working hand-n-hand to bring the people of America to
there knees, to install a Central Government over them and to bind them to a
debt that could not be paid. First off you have to understand that the UNITED
STATES is a corporation and that it existed before the Revolutionary war. See
Respublica v. Sweers 1 Dallas 43. 28 U.S.C. 3002 (15)
