Non-filers

It’s a known fact that the IRS hasn’t been diligent in keeping individuals who don’t file required tax returns. The agency has been called out by Treasury inspectors and many lawmakers for its lack of enforcement in that particular area.

So it shouldn’t shock anybody that high-income non-filers are now on the top of the list of IRS’s strategic enforcement priorities. It seems that the spotlight is on individuals with an income above $100,000, who didn’t file any returns.

Collection officers might contact taxpayers to solve this issue and convince them to comply. People who simply refuse to comply should expect levies, liens, and with no exaggeration, criminal charges.
