Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Dennis H. Carmichael appeals the judgment of the United States Court of Federal Claims dismissing his claim for income tax refunds. Carmichael v. United States, No. 04-CV-190 (Fed.Cl. Aug. 16, 2004). We affirm.

The material facts are not in dispute. Carmichael asserts that, under I.R.C. § 861, only the domestic income of those engaged in certain activities relating to foreign commerce are taxable, and because his income did not come from a taxable “source” his wages and salary were therefore not subject to income tax. This argument has been uniformly rejected by courts that have considered it, see, e.g., United States v. Burke, 504 U.S. 229, 112 S.Ct. 1867, 119 L.Ed.2d 34 (1992); Davis v. United States, 742 F.2d 171 (5th Cir. 1984), and we reject it as well. See also 2004-12 I.R.B. 622, Rev. Rui. 2004-30, 2004 WL 389676, Mar. 22, 2004 (“Any position that, under sections 861 through 865, United States citizens and residents are not subject to tax on wages and other income earned or derived in the United States is frivolous.”).
