Round Up The Usual Suspects
Rush Limbaugh’s amazing story of dealing with the New York State tax collectors:
“They even wanted to visit my house in Florida and the New York apartment to see if I was lying.”
Not paying taxes: Class E Felony
Not providing evidence you’re qualified to be president: No federal statutes apply

Wait until Obamacare is in full effect.....”Citizen you have failed to provide form 2320-B to the IRS as required by the HHS Sec. you are under arrest” Just wait until they can cross check voting records at the Dr’s Office.....I’m sorry Mr. Smith you didn’t vote for Dear Leader Obama you are denied the back operation here is your Gov’t mandated Tylenol.

Tax evasion refers to attempts by individuals, corporations or trusts to avoid paying the total amount of taxes owed through illegal means, known as tax evasion fraud. This may include underreporting income, misrepresenting deductions, offshore tax evasion strategies, or or failing to file returns in a timely manner. Tax evasion penalties can have serious repercussions. The government imposes serious tax evasion sentence and penalties on offenders, including prison terms and hefty fines, for tax evasion.
Cost of Tax Evasion
The U.S. government estimates that approximately 3 percent of taxpayers do not file tax returns at all. While not filing taxes can involve both civil and criminal penalties, these are usually related to the amount of tax owed. For example, if a taxpayer does not owe any taxes, the penalties for not filing are less serious. However, failing to file a tax return for a year in which you do owe taxes is a crime. For each year a taxpayer does not file a return, the penalty can include a fine of up to $25,000 and a prison sentence of up to one year. If the IRS can demonstrate that the individual or company willfully did not file in an attempt to evade taxation, the IRS can pursue a felony conviction, which could include a fine of up to $100,000 and a maximum prison sentence of five years.
Although incarceration is rare, the threat is very real. Therefore, the best course of action is to file an accurate tax return on time every year. This is true even if you don’t have the money to pay the entire tax bill. In these cases, the IRS will work with you to set up a payment plan. If you need for more time to prepare an accurate tax return, such as owing to insufficient records, you can request an extension of time to file.
If individuals or corporations file tax returns late, the IRS can levy a penalty or a “late filing fee” of 5 percent for every month the return is late up to a maximum of 25 percent of the total tax due. However, the IRS usually does not pursue criminal charges against taxpayers who file their tax returns late. It also tends to extend more sympathetic treatment in collecting taxes to those who file on their own before the IRS “catches up with them.”
Even if you have not filed taxes for many years, it is best to file missing returns late. The IRS computers do not automatically search for a taxpayer’s history, and the IRS wants to encourage non-filers to begin filing taxes.
Tax Filing Errors
A similar situation applies to those who have file erroneous returns that may include underreporting income or overstating deductions. Individuals, corporations or trusts can file amended returns at any time to correct errors and avoid criminal prosecution.
The IRS has nearly 3000 special agents trained to detect tax evasion. These agents have access to tax returns, the ability to gain access to further financial information, and the right to seize or freeze assets in an attempt to collect taxes.

The religious Baldwin? Well, that’s a drag, I’m sending up a prayer for the guy.
Periodically, the regime makes an example of one of the sheep by turning it into lamb chops. It’s a warning to the sheep to keep in line.
How can it be referred to as “cheating” when one refuses to file or is unwilling to play the game?
Yeah, live it to a liberal to throw in a line about class envy. How about investigating moochers on disability?
We’re here from the government and we want our money or we’ll break your thumbs.
Barney Rubble says the gubmint is tryin' to Grab-A-Dab-A-Dough!!
Is Stephen going Galt?
I know a gal who is in her mid-40’s and has never, ever filed a 1040 US tax return. I think she filed one state income tax form to prove state residency for in-state tuition purposes. She hasn’t had a ‘real job’ in over 10 years. She’s had income taxes deducted but never bothered to collect her refund.
Could she go to jail?
If possible he should file a discrimination lawsuit against the state for having arrested him (a conservative) while they chose not to arrest Timothy Geithner for failing to pay back taxes while working at the New York Fed.
