Income tax was levied on non-residents and American citizens living and working in a foreign country and for the federal government. During World War I, the government requested that citizens volunteer to pay taxes as a way to pay for the war. During World War II the government employed Walt Disney and his cartoon character, Donald Duck, to increase the voluntary payment of the income tax.
Income is taxed at the federal level (at progressive rates) and at the state level (at progressive rates). There are four categories of income: wages and salaries, business income, investment income, and capital gains. All kinds of income, except capital gains, are generally aggregated and taxed at the same rates. However, for non-residents, the tax liability depends on the type of income that is being taxed.
Whether you have to file a tax return (or pay tax) depends, in part, on your filing status, deductions, amount & type of income. There are no such things as "start and stop" ages, not having to pay because of retirement or on social security or working from home or a student. It is all addressed as a matter of "how much TAXABLE income."
(Note: working isn't relevant either, as many people who don't work or are retired, or disabled, or old, or young, or in school, have income from many sources: savings, investments, etc. TAXABLEincome is different than what you may otherwise think of as income. In most circumstances, you have to do many of the calculations needed to file a return, just to determine what taxable income may be).
Likewise, there are no special or fixed rates for retired, student, doctor, sanitation worker, President, convict...whatever. The amount of taxable income after applicable deductions and adjustments determines the rate applied to your particular situation. The rate, as well as the amount, you pay changes as the amount of income does.
