The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the federal agency responsible for collecting and administering the tax laws of the United States. It was established in 1862 and is led by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, who is appointed by the President of the United States. The IRS provides tax assistance to taxpayers, pursues and resolves instances of erroneous or fraudulent tax filings, and oversees various benefits programs, including the Earned Income Tax Credit. The IRS has faced controversy and opposition over its methods, constitutionality, and the principle of taxation. The agency has undergone numerous reforms and reorganizations, most significantly in the 1990s. It processes millions of tax returns each year and is funded through an annual budget.
