Great video! Thanks so much! Would love to see an interview with an attorney working in one of the "Big 4" national tax offices.

Hello, can someone help me where to find the IRS code thats allegedly 6000 pages

[@BreakIntoTax]

The tax code is not the "IRS Code," it's the "Internal Revenue Code" (or "IRC")--it's enacted by Congress (as Title 26 of the U.S. Code), not by the IRS.
A lot of times, page estimates go beyond what is actually the Internal Revenue Code and include other documents, such as Treasury regulations. The site we use in our videos for the Internal Revenue Code is the Legal Information Institute at Cornell: www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26.
