If you're self-employed and not reporting income...well, that's another story. But this is terrible advice that you should definitely ignore, anyways.
- wfunction 10y agoI didn't ask if you can avoid filing taxes or collecting the money you're owed; I asked if you can ignore audits, since the claim was the latter.
- leggomylibro 10y agoRight, and it really depends on how serious they are. If they think you owe a lot of money, then no, you cannot ignore them. If they think you're just an asshole who can't be arsed to deal with them or is not capable of doing so, they really aren't going to do anything. Like I said, my grandfather owns a business and hasn't filed in decades. It caused my Uncle some serious consternation when he took the reigns, but he never faced any consequences in the form of being held in contempt, asset seizure, etc. Just some nastygrams every now and again. But again, this is awful advice; I was mostly being facetious. You should not just outright ignore your taxes, you should at least make a desultory effort to get SOMETHING in. But damned if I'm going to bother pulling together any more forms than are in arms/web's reach, or mail in anything more than the bare minimum.
