  • Non-filers making between $400,000 and more than $1 million with unfiled federal returns from tax years 2017 to 2021 will receive the initial round of letters.
  • The agency urges recipients to take “immediate action” to avoid more letters, higher penalties and “stronger enforcement measures.”

    I understand that we don’t have a debtors prison in the USA, and that’s a good thing, because it would be unfairly used against the poorest.

    Meanwhile, we’ve got to stop pretending people like this can and should be tried for failure to pay their taxes. It’s not like with poor people, where they simply don’t have the money to pay it, these people clearly have the money and have no intent to pay it. At that point we should be raising it to the crime of tax dodging and start actually fucking arresting people and dispensing with this pussy-ass strongly worded letter shit.
