Answer:

You wouldn't be owing any federal income tax

Step-by-step explanation:

The US government imposed the first income tax in 1861 and was at 3% for all incomes over $800 but this was cancelled and another was imposed in 1862. This second income tax was at 2% for all incomes over $4000. The Supreme court ruled the income tax unconstitutional.

In 1913, the federal income tax in the United States was made a permanent fixture.

This would imply that from 1863 to 1913, there was no federal income tax payments. Therefore, in 1962, nobody paid federal income taxes.

You don't owe anything because at that year the federal income tax rate was 0%.
