A federal tax is paid to the federal government through the Internal Revenue Service.
Explanation:
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the federal tax authority of the United States, and reports to the Department of the Treasury. It was founded in 1913 following the adoption of the 16th Amendment.
The authority's task is to collect all federal taxes, investigate tax criminal matters and collect claims. It only collects income tax because there is no federal sales tax in the United States.
The IRS has 89,500 employees and a budget of approximately $ 11 billion.
