The IRS is responsible for collecting taxes and the administration of the Internal Revenue Code. It has also overseen various benefit programs. The first income tax was assessed in 1862 to raise funds for the American Civil War, with a rate of 3%. Today the IRS collects over $2.4 trillion each tax year. It processes around 234 million tax returns annually.
