That last line became legend in our family. Eventually dad had to move to Mexico, not to avoid the IRS, but to be able to afford a lifestyle. He didn’t speak a lick of Spanish either. On $650 per month social security he house-sat a mountain chalet, and had a maid/cook and a hooker. Oh and he smuggled a little silver every time he came home.

It seems extremely foolish, but I am strongly considering not filing this year. How much of this fraud, waste and abuse are we supposed to take?
At the end of the day, I will be a giant pu$$Y and file but man is it tempting.
Technically if you're in a position where you get a W2 and would get a refund, the government would prefer that you didn't file your taxes and keep your money. There's no penalty for filing late, or not filing, if they owe you money.

Dad lived the dream a little too much, and it got ugly when his health broke down. But he was a fun man, as long as you weren’t married to him.

Are you withholding from his paycheck?
If so, he is paying taxes, regardless of whether he files or not.

If you don’t file, you usually won’t hear from the IRS for a few years and then all of a sudden you’ll get a 1 inch thick envelope which tells you by the time you’ve paid your penalties your late fees and interest. The tax owed is now twice what you originally owed.

Paying and filing is a different animal.
I personally know someone who thought he was off the grid for 15 years. Had a w-2 job but never filed (and yes that is indeed possible). Never got a loan or had a credit card in that time frame.
Had a child, got married and wanted a mortgage. Went to a tax lawyer and found out his payroll withholding would have refunded him back almost $30k in that period without even considering possible deductions. Never got the mortgage.
He moved away and we didn’t stay in touch so I never found out the exact fine but he didn’t go to jail. His wages started being garnished and that continued until he died.

Your taxes are already being withheld. Not filing isn't going to do you any favors.
If you had a lot of high yield CDs during the high interest rates of the last few years then they were not withheld and you have to pay extra for their earnings when you file.

NO TAXES !
You want to tax something that is not income? You want to tax everyone’s 401k, property holdings, bank interest, etc? You can’t be this dumb.

I have a friend that hasn't in 20 years. Says tax compliance is voluntary and forcing us to pay taxes is unconstitutional. He is single and no family. Makes you think though as nothing has happened to him except being put into collections by a 3rd party collection agency.
Lots more to it, but not typing it here.

If they owe you it doesn’t matter.

Inadvertently tried this once. Wife and I miscommunicated. Anyway, long story short an IRS official shows up at your house and threatens you with taking all of your shite if you don’t pay.

Educate yourself.
There is a difference between "gross" income and "taxable" income.
Clearly, Trump hasn't broken any laws with regards to his own personal income tax filings, or that would be on 24/7 (his company was charged, and it's being appealed).
If you take $400 out of your checking account for walking around cash, should you be taxed on it again? No, you already paid tax on it. If you sell an investment, you pay tax on the gains, not the gross sale amount.
Come back after educating yourself.
Oh yea, how about the super rich Democrats? They get a pass for doing the same (or worse)?

I know someone who got away with not paying taxes for years. After he died, his wife then had to stress, spend hours, and pay around $150k to settle it. So, if you hate your family and don't care how you affect them, not paying taxes can be an option.

How bad are you at taxes that you've owed that much, repeatedly, years on end?

I'll have some small satisfaction for my IL State income tax this tax year.
IL does not tax retirement income (yet), and pension, SS, and IRA w/d cover most of our spending. The rest is dividends and some LTCG if I need to sell some stocks. This year, I offset that with 529 contribution to our 5 grand-kids, so IL should be a net zero after all credits/deductions.
Of course, we still pay a ridiculous property tax and high sales tax, but it's something.

Right, there's going to be some big penalties at that rate. I always try to get it down to me owing a couple hundred. I might have to change the withholding later in the year as I get a better handle on total income.

If you are paid with a W2 or receive a high total of 1099s, they will eventually find you.
A brother of an employee of mine decided to quit filing due to his and his wive's overspending, even though he was a truck driver of a company and made about $90k a year.
Once the IRS got around to him, he contacted one of those Tax Relief businesses. They charged him a good bit to consider his case and then declined, because he made too much money.
He recentely gave his house back to the bank and moved into a rental and has a $700+ monthly payment to the IRS.
