Why do we have taxes at all?

The United States has a big budget. We have to pay for things like schools, roads, hospitals, the military, government employees, national parks, and so forth. The only way to pay for these things is for the government to get money from people and companies. People and companies pay a percentage of their income to the government. This is called the income tax. The government taxes our income so it can have enough money to pay for the things we all need.

Everyone is subject to taxation. The amount of taxes you owe is based on your income. You must pay taxes throughout the year on a pay-as-you-go system. People who earn more income have higher tax rates than those who earn less, this means tax rates get progressively higher the more you earn. You can reduce your taxes by taking advantage of various tax benefits. Finally, it's up to you to take control of your tax situation. Let's look at each of these five aspects of the tax system in more detail.

First of all, every person, organization, company, or non-profit is subject to the income tax. It means that people and organizations must report their income and calculate their tax. Some organizations are exempt from tax. But they still have to file a return, and their tax-exempt status could be revoked if the organization fails to meet certain criteria.

Secondly, you are taxed on your income. That's the long and the short of it. Income is any money you earn because you worked for it or invested for it. Income includes wages, interest, dividends, profits on your investments, pensions you receive, and so forth. Income does not include gifts. You are not taxed on gifts you receive, such as inheritances and scholarships.

Thirdly, you must pay your taxes throughout the year. This is called "pay as you go." For most people, it means your income taxes are taken out of your paycheck and sent directly to the federal government. At the end of the year, you have paid in a certain amount of taxes. If you paid in more than what you owe, the government refunds the amount over what you owed.
