Well, you better read and understand the entire code (USC Title 26)
because, if you are a taxpayer, it is the only 'law' that is 
acceptable to the courts.  Even the tax court has thrown out IRS 
publications as non-admissable evidence.  A U. S. Supreme Court 
case (U.S. vs. Helvering) stated that one accepts the advice of an 
IRS agent at his own peril, meaning that you are on your own: even 
IRS agents are not accountable for their advice.  Remember the well 
founded legal principle that ignorance of the law is no excuse, the 
other principle of substantive due process (that the law should be 
understandable by one of average intelligence) not withstanding.
