Federal Income tax became law in 1913 when the Sixteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified. While some states do not have an income tax, all residents and citizens of the United States are subject to federal income tax. The more assets an individual owns, unfortunately, the more complicated the tax law becomes.

Congress writes the tax laws, which become part of the tax code. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is charged with interpreting the tax code. The IRS is a branch of the U.S. Treasury Department, with headquarters in Washington, D.C., and is ruled by a commissioner appointed by the President. Regional commissioners and district directors, also political appointees, oversee IRS operations.
