FAQ: Can Congress Tax a “Foreign Estate”?
QUESTION:
26 U.S. Code § 7701 – Definitions
(a)When used in this title, where not otherwise distinctly expressed or manifestly incompatible with the intent thereof—
(31)Foreign estate or trust
The term “foreign estate” means an estate the income of which, from sources without the United States which is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, is not includible in gross income under subtitle A.
How would Congress tax a “foreign estate”?
ANSWER:
By:
- Deceiving the owner of the estate:
https://sedm.org/Forms/05-MemLaw/LegalDecPropFraud.pdf - False information returns against the owner that deceive them into believing they owe a tax
https://sedm.org/Forms/04-Tax/0-CorrErrInfoRtns/CorrErrInfoRtns.pdf - Compelled use of SSN/TINs that facilitate all the above.

The FIRST tax collector mentioned in the New Testament who REPENTED of that sin said of the above:
“Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.”
[Matt. 12:29, Bible, NKJV]
RESPONSE:
But you would agree, that apart from someone being deceptive (intentionally or not), that a “foreign estate” falls outside of Congress’ purview to tax or regulate as a “person” under § 6671 and 7343, with a duty or obligation, right?
Stated another way, apart from an error (intentional or not), a “foreign estate” has no obligation to pay a tax or have some other tax-related obligation, right?
ANSWER:
Estates and owners are TWO different things. Owners are not a SUBSET of estates.
There are two ways to reach property: Fool the owner to convert their status or, to convert the status of their property as an estate
RESPONSE:
Agree. I’m talking ONLY about the “foreign estate.”
ANSWER:
The property presentation below exposes BOTH ways of reaching a foreign estate:

RESPONSE:
Again, assume nobody is fooled. At face-value, does a “foreign estate” have an obligation? Yes or No?
ANSWER:
It’s all in the eyes of the beholder. If the tax collector is deceived, and the owner is legally ignorant enough to not be able to educate or convince the tax collector or has to go through a compromised or legally ignorant member of the legal profession, it’s hopeless anyway. See:

QUESTION:
Does a “foreign estate” have an obligation? Yes or No?
ANSWER:
Of course not, but convincing tax collectors and withholding agents of that is the challenge.
QUESTION:
Even if Congress defined the term? Since they defined it, they can do what they want with it, right? The definition doesn’t really hold any weight anyway since it’s a creation of Congress. That’s the conclusion, correct?
ANSWER:
Its a non-definition like of Nonresident Alien in 26 U.S.C. §7701(b)(1)(B). It describes what it ISN’T, not what it IS. So its an escape hatch used by those who are EXCLUSIVELY PRIVATE and SEPARATE/FOREIGN from the PUBLIC trust. See:
Separation Between Public and Private Course, Form #12.025
https://sedm.org/LibertyU/SeparatingPublicPrivate.pdf
QUESTION:
Yes. But it’s a non-definition published by Congress. So they can make it mean whatever they want regardless of how the words are published in Title 26, right?
ANSWER:
They can’t write definitions affecting property they have no ownership interest in. That would be a Fifth Amendment taking.
The ONLY authority delegated to Congress by the Constitution is to protect and manage public property held within the public trust, the Constitution.
QUESTION:
So the term “foreign estate”—the term that is under the heading: DEFINITIONS—isn’t a definition at all?
Or a “term”?
ANSWER:
It’s a place holder for things congress can’t define or manage. Like the OWNER of such an estate, who is also unmanageable. The nonresident alien.
QUESTION:
Would you categorize your estate as a “foreign estate”? Or would you call it a non-“foreign estate”?
Or a non-non-“foreign estate”?
ANSWER:
Private property and private owner protected by the constitution instead of civil law is what me and my property are. The code is what idiots who believe the lies of politicians want to use to describe themself or their property. See:

RESPONSE:
Agreed.
