" The first nattional income tax in the United States was enacted in 1862 to help finance the war. It started as a 3% tax on incomes over $600 and 5% on incomes over $10,000. These rates were later increased, and the ceiling for the lower tax rate was lowered in 1864. "
The Grant Administration repealed these taxes in 1872
Thank you, Abby, for the great reminder. The IRS must RECEIVE the amendment by 10/13/2025. I've been forgetting that lately with e-filing.
If you have to paper file, between the USPS and the IRS brokenness, who knows when the IRS will receive any given piece of mail !!!
