According to the article, 'Brief History of IRS', on the IRS website (www.irs.gov), in 1862, the position of Commissioner of Internal Revenue was created. An income tax was enacted to pay expenses of the Civil War. Ten years later, the income tax was repealed. Congress then re-enacted the income tax in 1894. But the U.S. Supreme Court decided in 1895 that the income tax was unconstitutional.

The Sixteenth Amendment giving Congress the authority to enact an income tax was ratified in 1913. The first Form 1040 was released in 1913. The article has a link to the 1913 Form 1040. The form is three pages long with one page of instructions. To see the 1913 Form 1040, go to www.irs.gov. Select 'About IRS' in the upper right corner. In the 'About IRS' screen, select 'Brief history of IRS'.

I don't know when the IRS began putting forms and publications on their website, but currently there is every year that income taxes have been in existence available on the IRS website. This includes 1864 Income Tax Return which were later declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. This tax was started by the Abraham Lincoln Administration to support the War of Northern Aggression. Income taxes were reinstated in 1913 by an Amendment to the United States Constitution. All years including 1913 and since are available on the website.
