Alexander Hamilton suggested to put a tax on imported goods, but in the year 1791 the imports tax was not working when people started to ignore it. This caused the Whisker rebellion which occurred because of farmers not wanting to pay theirgrain taxes. In 1862, an Internal Revenue office was established and in 1863 tax collecting and law enforcement was put together when agents were sent to prevent tax evaders. The Whiskey ring was broken in 1875 by the agents that were sent. In 1877, the “Bureau of Internal Revenue” was used as the title and a Revenue laboratory was established in 1866 under the department of Agriculture. In 1919,the 18th amendment was ratified causing a Prohibition Unit to be formed the following year. This unit was elevated to Bureau Status in 1927 by the Treasury.
