Hypothetically speaking if someone owed less then $15k in taxes and didn't have income or property to lien against what is the worst that could happen?
Was reading an article about someone who hadn't paid in like 10 years but filed every year. Apparently he just ignored the letters as he didnt have anything they could take. I have heard both extremes and was curious if anyone else has a first hand knowledge and not just made up fear of the IRS.... Edit: I would post the article but it was in some magazine at a rental cabin I was in over the holiday and don't remember what is was. |

They will freeze any bank accounts you might have and take the money.

When I was a kid (around 85 or 86) I remember the IRS arrested my neighbors son and auctioned off everything he had.
He was tied in with some group that believed taxes were unconstitutional and he told the IRS He was not going to pay. He was working odd jobs and I think they tacked on tax fraud and a few other charges. |

View Quote Hypothetically he may now owe millions the way they tack on fees and late charges and penalties. A visit to Club Fed will be in his future most likely. I am not sure about this but I believe it becomes a felony charge of evading also. |

If you do anything using your social security number the IRS will seize any assets that you have.
Wages, Unemployment, inheritance, lottery winnings, disability, Social Security, etc. Basically you'll have to work cash jobs all your life and let your girlfriend do all the renting and utilities in her name. If your married, they'll go after your wifes assets. You can't buy a house or a car or have credit because you'll have a "hold" put on your Soc Sec number. |

I went through this and we worked it out. I had a deference until I was on my feet and now pay them $800. extra a month for 3 years. We negotiated it and I can now afford it. If you begin it the IRS is actually easy to deal with. The stupid thing to do is go to a tax attorney, you will pay them a huge fee AND pay the IRS.

The final outcome is when your health goes to crap wont be eligible for disability benefits since you have not paid into the system. You earn points for each year of work and can only get so many a year and need a certain amount in the last ten years of work to be eligible. Or something like that |

As long as you file and claim you owe it I believe the worst they can do is seize assets and garnish wages. Not filing or claiming the income is pound me in the ass prsion.

There are two possible outcomes. One is for democrats, the other is for republicans. One is very bad.

Simple descrepancy? They send you a letter at first. AMHIK
Are you asking what happens if you flat-out refuse to pay? ...Ed & Elaine Brown are going to both die in federal prison for taking that stance. |

The answer depends if your name is "John Doe" or "Juan Valdez"

There is a ten-year statute of limitations for unpaid taxes. If you are determined to be currently uncollectable, the IRS will leave you alone. You may need to reapply for currently uncollectable status every year or so. After ten years, the tax debt goes away.
If you are not currently uncollectable, the IRS will accept a payment plan (based on what they determine you can afford). After ten years, the unpaid balance goes away. The biggest mistake people make when it comes to the IRS is ignoring them. If you have a tax bill than cannot be paid, you are far better off contacting the IRS. No one goes to jail for simple non-payment of taxes. They go to jail for filing fraudulent returns or failing to file returns, etc...

The more money you make and/or try to get out of paying, the more attention you're gonna get. IIRC Willie Nelson owed millions and I don't remember'em throwing him in jail. But, the idiot that won the first Survivor ended up in jail IIRC for tax evasion.......on that million he won..... Hard to figure.......... that's our tax system. Pun intended...... |

Many of the biggest offenders work for the IRS.
Sharpton is a huge crook but he is an obungler/Holder rump kisser so he has little to worry about. |

Horseshit! Those bastards will hound you for every penny you owe, add on staggeringly high fines and penalties, attach anything you own...and ultimately put your ass in federal prison. Prison usually comes as a penalty for failure to file a return, willful fraud or outright refusal to pay what you owe. Never assume they won't fuck with you for owing them money....because it's exactly how they justify their existence. |
