The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was established on July 1, 1862, during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln. It was created to help fund the Civil War through the collection of income taxes. The IRS was initially intended to be a temporary agency, but it became a permanent fixture in the U.S. government as income tax laws evolved and expanded over the years. Its primary role is to administer and enforce federal tax laws.
