The federal income tax has not always been a part of the American taxation system. Early in our nation's history, the income tax was used only in times of war or national crisis to generate needed revenue. In 1862, Congress passed the first federal income tax law to ease the burden of Civil War debts. This early tax was a progressive tax. |
