> I'm… pretty sure they'd just be arrested and placed in federal prison, like any tax evader. After taking all of your stuff to pay the taxes (and fines) of course. And yeah, the IRS is very, very, experienced at extracting everything they can from people who hide their money. If you're employed, they'll garnish your wages. If you're not employed or are "secretly" employed, they'll show up at your house/business (and they know the usual tricks people do to avoid them) and essentially start taking stuff until they think the bill is paid. They'll take your car. They'll take your furniture. If you're a restaurant, they'll clear out your cash register, take your equipment, and take all your food. If there's the least hint you might be violent, they'll bring along armed officers. Just saying "no" to the IRS is definitely not a very good plan... [My mom used to be a rev'nooer, so I've plenty of stories about this stuff.]
