From the Paper:
"The bases of the service were set during the Civil War, when President Lincoln and the American congress began to collect taxes from the population in order to pay off the war expenses. This also meant the necessity to create an adequate position and a service to handle these operations - Commissioner of Internal Revenue. The history of the service and the taxes it implemented is a tumultuous one, coming to a clarification only in 1913, when it was ratified through the 16th Amendment."Today's IRS is a modern institution, created on numerous changes and struggling to adapt to the emergent modifications. Throughout the past recent years, the institution has undergone several processes of restructuring and reorganization. The measures implemented referred to changes in all approach, legislative matters, taxation, as well as internal affairs. The act that produced the most significant effects in the recent decade has been the 1998 Restructuring and Reform Act. ''The IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 prompted the most comprehensive reorganization and modernization of IRS in nearly half a century."
