I’ve had tax issues. It depends on what you consider a tax accident. Accident like you forgot some rental property? You hid some income? You lied about something? Or accident like your employer didn’t withhold the right amount?
Its almost a cliche, for the government to send the IRS after its political enemies. Before you take on the government, you’d better have your tax man go back through your taxes for the last several years. Overpay if you have to. Don’t give them anything easy to use against you.
We could eliminate a LOT of problems in this country if simply did it.
