Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context of the question: The problem is asking about the largest source of income for the federal government, which requires knowledge of government revenue streams.
Identify the key revenue sources listed in the options: Corporate income taxes, individual income taxes, excise taxes, and customs duties.
Recall that individual income taxes are typically the largest source of revenue for the federal government, as they are collected from a broad base of taxpayers and represent a significant portion of federal income.
Compare the other options: Corporate income taxes are collected from businesses, excise taxes are levied on specific goods and services, and customs duties are taxes on imported goods. These sources are generally smaller in scale compared to individual income taxes.
Conclude that individual income taxes are the correct answer based on their prominence as the largest revenue source for the federal government.
