After concessions, the sole issue is whether the income tax laws are constitutional.The parties submitted this case fully stipulated pursuant to Rule 122. Ms. Jarboe, a self-employed practical nurse, received $ 42,480 and $ 43,481 of nonemployee compensation from Absolute Nursing Care, Inc., in 1995 and 1996, respectively. Ms. Jarboe also received $ 1,540 and $ 1,587 of taxable distributions from Principal Mutual Life Insurance Co. in 1995 and 1996, respectively. In 1995, Ms. Jarboe received $ 20 of taxable interest from Blue Ridge Bank. Ms. Jarboe did not file Federal income tax returns, and did not pay estimated taxes, relating to 1995 and 1996.Ms. Jarboe admits that she received compensation from Absolute Nursing*327  Care, Inc., distributions from Principal Mutual Life Insurance Co., and interest from Blue Ridge Bank, but contends that the tax laws are unconstitutional. Her contention is meritless. Accordingly, we sustain respondent's determinations.To reflect the foregoing,Decision will be entered under Rule 155.
