Answer 1

Lincoln

The first Federal income tax was imposed (under Article I, section 8, clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution) during the Civil War, then again in the 1890s, and again after the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified in 1913.

Answer 2

Booman is correct that the income tax became permanent in 1913 and I guess that would have been during the administration of Woodrow Wilson?  (Not sure about the President, but I know it was 1913;  you can probably easily do a goggle search and find out who was President that year.)

Answer 3

President Lincoln in 1862 in order to pay for the War Between the States.

Answer 4

I thought that it was imposed during the early 1900's by Taft.

Answer 5
