Internal Revenue Service

The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was established in 1862 by President Abraham Lincoln to collect federal income taxes in support of the Civil War effort. Since its founding, the IRS has served as the primary agency responsible for administering and enforcing U.S. tax laws. Its mission has been to ensure compliance, manage tax collection, and support the financial operations of the federal government.

  • The IRS is a bureau of the Department of the Treasury and is led by a Commissioner appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate.
  • Although part of the Executive Branch, the IRS operates under laws passed by Congress (Legislative Branch) and is subject to oversight by the Judiciary in cases involving tax disputes and legal interpretation.
  • The IRS affects nearly every American by processing tax returns, issuing refunds, and enforcing compliance, which influences both personal finances and the broader economy.
