Absolutely...many times over...and it happens many times everywhere. In a simple and clear example...most all states impose ans income tax on the same income the Feds do, and some cities and even local area have taxes on that same income in places. At least 4 levels right there. In fact, the tax you pay one of those taxes with may not even be allowed as a deduction in one of the other districts...The Federal Tax you pay is still taxable income in many of the States.
The federal government's authority to collect income tax comes from the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which was ratified in 1913.

The branch of government that can collect and spend money from taxes is the legislative branch. In the United States, Congress has the constitutional authority to levy taxes and determine how tax revenues are allocated for government spending. The executive branch, led by the President, then implements and administers the budget set by Congress.
It doesn't need to collect.
Why dose the government collect income taxes
The U.S. government derives its authority to collect taxes from the Constitution, specifically Article I, Section 8, which grants Congress the power to lay and collect taxes to provide for the common defense and general welfare. Additionally, the Sixteenth Amendment, ratified in 1913, specifically allows Congress to levy an income tax without apportioning it among the states. This legal framework supports the government's ability to generate revenue for public services and infrastructure.
