Can the IRS send me to jail for not paying my taxes?

Very few taxpayers end up going to jail for their IRS debt. Most taxpayers underpay their taxes due to a mistake or ignorance. Others have a hard time paying what they owe due to financial hardship (in these cases, the IRS has several plans to allow the taxpayer to pay their tax debt in part … or in whole). In cases where the liability is significant, the IRS may initiate civil proceedings after they have determined the actual liability. Often, an audit is performed to determine how much someone owes in back taxes, and then that amount is asked for. If you don’t pay or set up a payment plan, you might be subject to a lien or a levy. However, you won’t end up in jail if you don’t pay your taxes as assessed during a civil attempt to collect. Click Here For More!
