Question: My friend is convinced that if you never file for taxes…?

My friend is convinced that if you have never filed for taxes, then you never have to. He says that his dad’s tax preparer said that as long as you never file you are ok, but once you do file, you have to file every year. So now he is dead set against filing next year (even though he no longer works under the table, so he will be on the books). He really thinks that as long as you never file then you never have to pay taxes.

I told him this is BS and that his tax preparer has got to be wrong, and he better file or he is gonna be in a lot of trouble down the road and have a bunch of back takes to pay. I do not know much about this, I think you should just pay your taxes and go on, but this sounds like asking for trouble to me.

So who is right? And could you give me some links to show him (or me)?

We are in Ohio if that make a difference. (I doubt it)

Answer: Your friend is wrong. Internal Revenue Code Section 6012 states:

“Every individual having for the taxable year gross income which equals or exceeds the exemption amount,” . . .

then goes into some legal verbage that can basically be summed up by saying “unless you make less than ___ you must file a return.”

Even income earned “under the table” is taxable, but of course it’s harder for the IRS to prove it. There are a few isolated cases of people getting away with it for long periods of time, but those are few and far between. It usually catches up with them eventually.
