I feel worse for the people whose actual, involuntary problems they are trivializing by presenting (true or not) their situation as a "lifestyle choice". If it helps, some other comments in this thread indicate that there's no need to file a tax return on yearly income under ~$10,000 so this person and others in their situation would likely qualify. I don't think the IRS should give amnesty for past willful nonpayment in light of present circumstances though. We have a different mechanism for that; it's called bankruptcy.

If you never filed the tax returns in the first place or willfully evaded, you couldn't discharge that debt in bankruptcy. Maybe amnesty isn't the solution, but if you're living out of your car and have IRS issues looming over your head, escaping that life could be pretty tough, and that sucks.

If you re-read my comment, you will see that there was never a non-payment, only a non-filing.
