It's a cost benefit analysis - they expend resources to collect where it's most highly profitable. Not sure where the threshold is. You may be under their radar and not worth the hassle. So it's not good advice for some people. Like a cop would rather fine an upstanding citizen who pays the ticket vs fine and jail the vagrant who is more headache and costs money. Many good households would be made examples in this scenario.
Edit: people have been avoiding taxes successfully since long before the MAGA movement so in my mind it's not an indicator.
Right, not being an ass, but pragmatist. It is a choice, for many, an uncomfortable one. Most here hope that this will all end soon. I'm saying it wont 'end' until "we" say it ends; and it will when "we the people" make up our collective minds. Power in numbers... (Divided we are weak, together we are strong). Also, I'm priority one on said radar for the last 20 years and it seems to be not working the same as before. All I said is that I'm not giving more anecdotal detail to the same, YET. That appears to be the issue. So be it.
Understood and I will say this. If you're priority one, and have resources to contest this in court, then you wouldnt be priority one in a cost benefit analysis. You'd be a headache in proving the unconstitutionality of the IRS, unless there were a political benefit to taking you on. People have beat the gov't on this before. So they'd really start going after the sole proprietorships and 1-2 member corps whose principals make +/- $500k/yr.
Right, I'm not that cool either. +/- 500k net per year I might continue to pay tribute to the monster. Who knows. What I will say is that we collectively bitch alot but continue to fund our slavery. The Matrix is an understatement. "The ending will not be for everyone". I always thought that statement was directed towards "us".
