You first have to understand that by taking this defense against the IRS you
would lose. There have been many cases based on the constitutional issue of
the direct tax issue that have lost. What it takes is an extensive
understanding of the Internal Revenue Code and what areas of that code that
you can base your defense upon. The code is very ambiguous, and I want to
emphasis the word very, and difficult to understand. Having said that,
there are many web-sites and books that can help you with that
understanding. One web-site that gave me the deepest understanding is;

In this case the word income is misused. It really should be profits. A
corporation never pays taxes on income, but profits. In other words, net
profits.
As an individual earning a wage from a profession, those wages are not
taxable, because it is not profits, but income. The way the code is
written, the ambiquity of the phrases regarding income and profits makes it
appear that an individual earning a wage is liable for taxes on income.
However, I will defy you to find anywhere in the code a definition of a
specific tax on income.
Now, once you read this paragraph, you should begin to understand that any
individual earning a "profit" from trading or any other endeavor that
generates a profit must pay a tax on those profits.
In the Constitution, it states "we have the right to life, liberty and the
ownership of property, and those rights will not excised". What basically
this means is that our labor is the individuals property and therefor cannot
be taxed. It does not make any reference to profits on the sale or trade of
property.
