When did Congress start taxing income? It was on August 5th in 1861 when the federal government of the U.S. first imposed taxes on income. In relation to the Civil War during that time, the primary purpose of such practice was to gather funding to help finance the war. It was implemented right after the signing of the Revenue Act of 1861.
