S'|PA7a}h 7P3/Ky@6 下面是从IRS 网站上来的关于IRS 的历史
X);'[/]E* g`'!Vgd?M[ Origin
$s}w23nB 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 The income tax was repealed 10 years later. Congress revived the income tax in 1894, but the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional the following year.
{,Vvm*L/ (kO (R#M 16th Amendment
j"~"-E(79 In 1913, Wyoming ratified the 16th Amendment, providing the three-quarter majority of states necessary to amend the Constitution. The 16th Amendment gave Congress the authority to enact an income tax. That same year, the first Form 1040 appeared after Congress levied a 1 percent tax on net personal incomes above $3,000 with a 6 percent surtax on incomes of more than $500,000
zdPJ>PNU 9 >- 6Y 上面讲的IRS是由林肯总统和国会在1862年创建的。目的就是收税有权收税的。
