The IRS is targeting non-filers--are you one that they are looking for?

The IRS just took one on the chin from TIGTA (their oversight agency) calling them out on letting non-filer cases pile up.  TIGTA found that potential nonfiler cases grew by 5.9 million between 2015-2022.  Non-filers alone are estimated to account for $63 billion of the $696 billion tax gap.

The IRS responded that they are now "using analytics, automation, and artificial intelligence to identify potential noncompliance earlier." 

Tax translation: The IRS won't be solely relying on DIF scores and lifestyle audits--hit or miss, slow, resource-heavy detection methods.  Those systems are being replaced by faster, more targeted detection methods.

If you are among the non-filer crowd, the "they'll never get to me" just got a little riskier.

✅ Get your paperwork in order--if you need documents, establish an IRS online account and pull wage and income transcripts.
✅ Talk to a tax professional before you file--especially if you owe your state tax agency in addition to the IRS.  Timing may matter.
✅ Have a plan for the taxes, penalties, and interest before you are forced into their plan.

Remember, voluntary compliance almost always leads to a better outcome than IRS enforcement.
