Brief History of IRS. Origin. The roots of IRS go back to the Civil War when President Lincoln and Congress, in 1862, created the position of commissioner of Internal Revenue and enacted an income tax to pay war expenses. The income tax was repealed 10 years later.
For more than four decades in the early 19th century, the federal government had no domestic taxes at all. It raised most of its money by taxing imports and selling public land. The First Income Taxes. The federal government imposed its first income tax in 1861 to pay the mounting costs of the Civil War. The war ended in 1865, and the income tax was repealed in 1872, once the debts incurred during the war had been paid. The U.S. went back to excise taxes until 1894, when Congress passed a second income tax.
