Tax law is separated into two divisions which are Federal & State.

Federal and State tax law involves the taxation of income and property acquired through personal and professional efforts. In addition to income tax, there are sales, capital gains, property, inheritance, and a myriad of other areas of taxes.

Federal income tax became part of the law in 1913. It occurred when the sixteenth amendment to the U.S. constitution was ratified. Despite the fact that several states do not have an income tax, all residents and citizens of the United States are subject to federal income tax. The more assets that an individual person owns, unfortunately, the more complicated the tax law becomes.

Congress writes the laws which are subject to become a part of the tax code. The IRS (Internal Revenue Service) is charged with interpreting the tax code. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is a branch of the U.S. treasury department, with headquarters in Washington, D.C., and is ruled by a commissioner selected by the president. Regional commissioners and district directors, and political appointees oversee the Internal Revenues operations. Commissioners and district directors, and political appointees oversee the Internal Revenues operations.
