Do you Owe the IRS?

If you Owe the IRS, not filing your return does not make the problem go away. Your employer has to report all income paid to you. When you receive a 1099 or a W2 the IRS receives the same information. It is better to file your taxes and set up a payment plan to avoid unnecessary penalties and interest.
