    Well if you do end up getting caught into their sceme of things, and you're notified. Prepare for war. Even though the income tax is a non-mandatory tax on income(though not stated in the constitution, so there for it is a fraud). They like to enforce it. They'll hunt you down. Tell them, "show me the law that says I need to pay taxes on my income, and I'll write you a check. Ed Brown in NH has been dealing with the IRS and FBI for quite a while in a nice little standoff. Though, he said that. They're preparing to raid his house. He's going to defend himself to the death.

    If you are in Canada and you never file an income tax form your fine -

    Income tax in Canada was/is a vlountary tax to pay for the war (ww1) - yes ONE .

    Not a lot of people know this and the government is careful not to tell people

    Once you file one you are screwed for life you entered the deal -

    Don't file and they owe you money - No big deal no one cares . Don't file and it turns out that you owe them -

    They will take your socks off your feet as they go through your undies before putting you in jail for an eternity - Nice huh ?

    Most likely nothing. They only audit a tiny number of returns every year and it is randomly selected.

    I did not file a return for one year a long time ago. The next year and every year since I have filed, nobody noticed the missing year. Nothing ever happened.

    The government will eventually get around to sending you a letter of what THEY THINK you owe in back taxes, along with a juicy penalty fee (which can be a huge amount).

    If you still don't pay after that, they will place a lien on your property, garnish your wages, and take other such nasty actions.

    Pay up...it's not worth it, just ask my brother.

    They'll find you and fine you. And if you really p*ss them off, they'll imprison you. And if you are as disorganized as I am, and they decide to audit you, then you'll wish you were dead.

    So, just file 'em.
