The IRS is cracking down on non-filers.

IRS Cracks Down on Non-Filers: Are You Prepared?

  • August 23, 2024

The IRS is turning up the heat on IRS non-filers, and if you haven't filed your tax returns since 2017, you could be in their sights. With the new resources provided by the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is laser-focused on collecting unpaid taxes from high-income individuals, and they're starting with those who earn between $400,000 and over $1 million annually.

IRS Non-Filers: Are You at Risk?

You might think you're off the radar, but the IRS has identified 125,000 cases that they're actively pursuing. They've already sent out 125,000 CP59 notices, warning IRS non-filers like you that it's time to comply. The stakes are high—these cases could involve hundreds of millions of dollars in unpaid taxes, with some estimates suggesting over $100 billion is owed.

The IRS's New Aggressive Stance on Non-Filers

The IRS is serious about this. Commissioner Danny Werfel has made it clear that the agency now has the funding to go after IRS non-filers aggressively. "With the Inflation Reduction Act resources, the agency finally has the funding to identify non-filers to ensure they meet this core civic responsibility," Werfel said.

Why Ignoring IRS Notices Could Cost You Dearly

If you've received one of these notices, ignoring it won't make it go away. In fact, failing to respond can lead to even more severe consequences, including penalties and interest that grow over time. The IRS has already collected almost $500 million from 1,600 millionaires who thought they could avoid paying their taxes. Don't let that be you.
