Whether you've got a mild stomachache, sharp pain, or cramps, abdominal pain can have many causes. For instance, you might have indigestion, constipation, a stomach virus, or, if you're a woman, menstrual cramps.
When did Congress start taxing income? It was on August 5th in 1861 when the federal government of the U.S. first imposed taxes on income. In relation to the Civil War during that time, the primary purpose of such practice was to gather funding to help finance the war. It was implemented right after the signing of the Revenue Act of 1861.
16th Amendment Forward: In 1913, with World War I looming, ratification of the 16th Amendment permanently established the income tax. The amendment gave Congress the authority to impose a tax on the income earned by both individuals and corporations. By 1918, government revenue generated from the income tax exceeded $1 billion for the first time, and topped $5 billion by 1920. The introduction of the mandatory withholding tax on employee wages in 1943 increased tax revenue to almost $45 billion by 1945.
