it's actually very hard to get criminally prosecuted you have to have screwed up in an unusually big way A former boy friend of mine got a call to appear at the IRS. He was sort of expecting the call since he sort of put off filing for about 5 years and paid no estimated even though he worked as an independent contractor and there was no withholding. He was paid very well and he used to just cash his check every week and spend it. He didn't even have a checking account. When he got the call, he immediately hired a tax lawyer to appear with him. He should have realized something was up when he entered the room and microphones were set up. At some point when the questions got a little personal he turned to his lawyer and said, "What's the big deal, I have the money, I'll pay what I owe and the penalties." The lawyer just turned to him, "These guys aren't from compliance, they're from the criminal division, they don't want your money, they want you." He never did any jail time because they realized they weren't dealing with a drug dealer, just an idiot. To this day he has no assets in his own name, not even a car.
