AlthoughtheAmericancolonistsfoughtforindependencefromBritishruleandBritishtaxes,oncetheUnitedStatesgovernmentformed,itsmainsourceofrevenuewasderivedfromplacingcustomsandexcisetaxesonthesameitemsthatweretaxedbyGreatBritain.In1812,inanefforttosupportanexpensivewareffort,theU.S.governmentimposedthefirstsalestax,whichwasplacedongold,silverware,jewelryandwatches.In1817,internaltaxeswereterminatedandthegovernmentreliedontariffstosupportitself.Itwasn'tuntil1862thattheUnitedStatesimposedthefirstnationalincometax.

TosupporttheUnionArmy,Congresspassedtaxlawsinboth1861and1862.TheofficeofCommissionerofInternalRevenuewasestablishedbytheTaxActof1862,whichstatedthatthecommissionerwouldhavethepowertolevyandcollecttaxes.Theofficewasalsogiventheauthoritytoseizepropertyandincomeinordertoenforcethetaxlaws.Thesepowersremainprettymuchthesametoday,althoughtheInternalRevenueService(IRS)willtellyouthatenforcementtacticshavebeentoneddownabit.
