The Very First Income Tax Form

This is the very FIRST federal income tax form. Their very first attempt, and it is as confusing as hell. The worst part about PAYING income tax is the confusing forms. This was very confusing, and they’ve had many years to make it even more confusing. I think they DELIGHT in complicating things to the point where we have to PAY to have someone ELSE figure it out for us because NOBODY understands it, not even the people who WROTE it or those who voted it into law. I’ve never been able to make “hide nor hair” of it, and I think they PLANNED it that way. Many people gave up on figuring it out many years ago and just didn’t ask for any of the money deducted from their pay back. They figure it’s “lost money” and don’t even try. (IRS First Form)
