Same here. I failed big in the 2001 recession and it took me a couple of years to really believe it. I almost have the back taxes paid off now. The IRS really doesn't do the criminal conviction thing unless there's no other choice. It's expensive and doesn't really fix the problem - that they don't have their money. They'd much, much rather set up a payment plan.
Also, for anybody in that situation - talk to them. I've never had a bad experience talking to the IRS. Sure, it's scary admitting there's that much debt hanging over your head, but the earlier you get on it, the better. Way better.
