GUIDE TO CODE PROVISIONS
The links above are to the LII online version of the United States Code, including Title 26 (Internal Revenue Code) and Title 18 (Crimes and Criminal Procedure. LII is a great resource for Code provisions generally and, in the case of title 26, the Regulations. The URL links to the Code provisions are in the following format:

For example, the link to tax evasion, § 7201, is:

Readers desiring any Code provision can just use the format noted above by including the title and the code section. For example, the following is the link to the FBAR criminal provision,

For more official versions of the United States Code, I refer readers to the following:
- Office of Law Revision all Titles here and Title 26 here where specific code sections can be searched and, via an outline structure, all Titles can be viewed (this presumably is the most official; the House of Representative's Office of Law Revision Counsel offers a helpful detailed guide to the United States Code and Content here)
- The Government Printing Office ("GPO"), here.
