There are very few specific things that can legally be taxed by the federal government. The specific taxes that Congress may lay and collect includes tariffs, import duties, and some taxes on federally-connected wages and income, but only for federal workers and those who invested in federal instruments. Congress has unlimited taxation authority in the sense that it can make a budget and then send each State a bill for its portion of the bill based on census, but for specific and direct taxes, the Constitution provides very little authority to Congress.
