“Your link goes to the 2014 form?”

“January 5, 1914, the treasury department unveiled the four page form (including instructions) for the new income tax. The form was numbered 1040 in the ordinary stream of numbering forms in sequential order. In the first year, no money was to be returned with the forms….”

I think what they are saying is that the 1913 taxes were paid with the form that wasn’t made public until 1914. And the money was collected by field agents.
