How can the IRS give a person trouble if they have nothing in their name? Worst cases scenario is they put a lien against you... We don’t have debtors jail here yet...You should research what the odds of actually getting convicted in federal court are. Honestly, too many fish in the sea and I’m too small to fry.
Sorry to piss on your parade there Monet, but you said earlier you had over $700K in W-2G's in one year: that ain't "small."
I assume your long-suffering wife hasn't filed returns either?
I'll be brief: the two of you could well be sent to prison for tax fraud.
No, it's not a crime to not file a return IF YOU OWE NO TAXES, but you report an income of six figures; again not "too small to fry."
Maybe you'll stay under the radar, but I don't see how the IRS' computer could overlook your failure to report the W-2G income on a return: they have your Social Security number and name on the W-2G the casinos filled out and gave to them, so I am guessing you're pretty much fucked.
When the IRS comes down you immediately hire one of those tax firms that negotiates with the IRS for you. I know people that have done it. Pennies on the dollar.
Druff, let us know when you receive redietz’ credit score.
