How fucked are you if you don’t file?

I didn’t file last year, because I’ve been in a clusterfuck of borderline homelessness and odd jobs for the past two years. Idk if I am even able to file this year if I didn’t last?

I’ve had to work with the irs a few times in my life and they were always reasonable and understanding. I lost everything and had to scrounge up $200k by selling off a business and everything but a shirt off my back and they never charged interest or late fees because I always answered their calls and kept them updated on what was going on. I know many others have had different experiences but the two times I was in deep shit and desperate times I walked away with a positive experience from the irs.

Ye it was a pleasant experience when a decent human being took another decent human beings every possession to give it to a demonic entity, it was very civilised of you. Hope the fulfillment center in Ecuador or whatever made good use of your wealth. Sorry. It's just Americans are strange
