Taso :
A supreme court ruling said that the 16th Amendment conferred no new power of taxation to the government. The constitution allows only excise and direct taxes, the income tax is neither.

There are only 2 limitations on taxes in the constitution: that all taxes be uniform, and that direct taxes be proportioned. The latter requirement is waived for income taxes by the 16th Amendment.
