REMEMBER: When querying AI:

1. Don’t query as yourself.
2. Instead do so from the perspective of Agent Smith in The Matrix Movie.

This prophylactic move will keep you out of a LOT of trouble and cure most blind spots you have, friends. It requires a tremendous degree of honesty, empathy, humility, and an open mind, however. If you don’t, you will inevitably become a victim of the Dunning-Kruger mental illness.

AI is a computer. This old computer adage applies: Garbage in, garbage out. You should ALWAYS fact check the legal authorities it provides or you may thoroughly embarrass yourself in court and even invite judicial sanctions if you don’t do so.

Many have asked various AI about income tax. The AI always gives the Mainstream/establishment response. Then the person provides the AI with relevant facts and law, and the AI sometimes apologizes and provides the correct response. For an example of that phenomenon, see:

Microsoft Copilot: Is someone serving as a federal employee and a “taxpayer” violating the dual-office prohibitions of law?

AI is the the closest thing you will get to an honest lawyer, because ordinary lawyers censor information or their own responses that threatens their revenue as a third rail issue.

AI, can also be useful as a STARTING point for learning:

1. Legal terminology.
2. What to expect from a “mainstream/establishment response”.
3. How to DISMANTLE or DESTROY a mainstream/establishment response.
4. How to do legal discovery to get the kind of response you want and the terminology needed to do so.

Critiquing AI is a fool’s errand if you already have the above skills.

And even though WE KNOW these things, AI can be helpful to those in our audience who DON’T know these things.

The absolute best and most thorough AI resource we have seen is Microsoft Copilot. And NO, we don’t make any money from making this recommendation. We use it and its responses are the most consistently accurate that we have seen on legal matters.

Microsoft Copilot: Are aliens standing on constitutionally protected land protected from direct taxes on private property in Article 1, Section 2. Clause 3?

By ftsig-admin / July 13, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: Are aliens standing on constitutionally protected land protected from direct taxes on private property in Article 1, Section 2. Clause 3?

EDITORIAL: This interchange is very useful in learning ways to attack MANDTORY participation in franchises. A “resident alien” under 26 U.S.C. 7701(b)(1)(A) is a COMPELLED franchisee. At the moment, if you are an alien who meets the presence test, the ONLY way you can file as a nonresident alien is to be married to one…

Microsoft Copilot: Schedule NEC DOES NOT apply to U.S. Nationals

By ftsig-admin / July 9, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: Schedule NEC DOES NOT apply to U.S. Nationals

QUESTION 1: Can you show me evidence that the Schedule NEC is only for use by aliens who are nonresident aliens but cannot be used by U.S. nationals? ANSWER 1: Absolutely. The key lies in the definition of who files Form 1040-NR, which is the only form to which Schedule NEC can be attached. Schedule…

Microsoft Copilot: Tax Computation Process for Nonresident Aliens

By ftsig-admin / July 7, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: Tax Computation Process for Nonresident Aliens

QUESTION 1: Is this the proper method of computing taxable income for a nonresident alien? 1. I.R.C. 61 is gross income. 2. I.R.C. 861/862 breaks that 61 gross income into within and without the U.S. 3. I.R.C. 862 is peeled off because not a U.S. source. I.R.C. 872 (exclusions) IMPLEMENTS the filtering of 862. 4.…

Microsoft Copilot: IRS Deception About who are “nonresident aliens”

By ftsig-admin / July 7, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: IRS Deception About who are “nonresident aliens”

QUESTION 1: IRS Publication 519 identifies itself as “U.S. tax guide for aliens”. However, it addresses nonresident aliens who are “U.S. nationals”. A U.S. national under 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(22) is not an alien. And the word “alien” is defined in 26 C.F.R. 1.1441-1(c)(3)(i) as someone who is NEITHER a citizen nor a national. Does that…

Microsoft Copilot: Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine applied to Federal and State Income Taxation

By ftsig-admin / June 21, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: Unconstitutional Conditions Doctrine applied to Federal and State Income Taxation

EDITORIAL: The application of the UCD has never been addressed or settled in the context of taxation. Only in other contexts. But like gross receipts limitations, it too applies to constitutional taxation when applied to those with constitutional rights standing on land the constitution applies. It appears to be such a hot button issue that…

Microsoft Copilot: Is the income tax a DIRECT tax or an INDIRECT tax?

By ftsig-admin / June 21, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: Is the income tax a DIRECT tax or an INDIRECT tax?

QUESTION 1: Does an election surrender the protections of the constitution under the Public Rights Doctrine and the Constitutional Avoidance Doctrine in the context of the civil statutory status that results from the election? For instance, if I elect “effectively connected” status in 26 U.S.C. 864, do I surrender the protection of the constitutional definition…

Microsoft Copilot: How does an “national of the United States” under 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(22) become a “foreign person”?

By ftsig-admin / June 21, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: How does an “national of the United States” under 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(22) become a “foreign person”?

EDITORIAL: The more absurd this all gets with equivocation and conflation, the more obvious it should be to the casual observer that they are hiding the truth. The casual observer is a “deer in the headlights” They don’t stand a chance. You need a phd in deception to catch these bastards! They probably have a…

Microsoft Copilot: FDAP under 26 U.S.C. 871(a)(1) is a tax on gross receipts and not profit. Does that mean it doesn’t apply to people residing within states of the Union and protected by the Constitution?

By ftsig-admin / June 17, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: FDAP under 26 U.S.C. 871(a)(1) is a tax on gross receipts and not profit. Does that mean it doesn’t apply to people residing within states of the Union and protected by the Constitution?

EDITORIAL: To summarize the approach to nonresident alien taxation on this website: It seems that the latitude Congress is given in Sixteenth Amendment varies depending on activity or recipient. It could be from: Social Security under 26 U.S.C. 871(a)(3) fits in EITHER 3 or 4 above, depending on where you are from. For a nonresident…

Microsoft Copilot: “nonresident alien” fiction is domiciled in the District of Columbia and “U.S. sources” means District of Columbia Sources

By ftsig-admin / June 16, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: “nonresident alien” fiction is domiciled in the District of Columbia and “U.S. sources” means District of Columbia Sources

EDITORIAL: This article establishes why domicile is ALWAYS important. Even in federal taxation, even though domicile is never even mentioned in I.R.C. Subtitles A and C. Domicile can NEVER be ignored or it will cloud or equivocate the origin of the jurisdiction of the taxing authority. ALL civil jurisdiction originates from it, and taxing authority…

Microsoft Copilot: American nationals are not “foreign persons” for the purpose of I.R.C. Chapter 3 “foreign person” withholding in 26 U.S.C. 1441 and 26 C.F.R. 1.1441-1

By ftsig-admin / June 12, 2025 / Comments Off on Microsoft Copilot: American nationals are not “foreign persons” for the purpose of I.R.C. Chapter 3 “foreign person” withholding in 26 U.S.C. 1441 and 26 C.F.R. 1.1441-1

EDITORIAL COMMENT: This dialog contains equivocation surrounding whether “U.S. national” is a nonresident alien so it fails the “law of noncontradiction” so it can’t be entirely true. See in Question 7: But crucially, “nonresident alien” is defined by reference to 26 U.S.C. § 7701(b)(1)(B), which—when read in light of 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(3)—excludes U.S. nationals, because they are not aliens.…
