is it really smart poking the buffalo with a stick?
i hope you are at least posting this behind TOR and if not that the tax man won't subpoena the forum to disclose your ip to make an example.

They would still have to prove that I owe them something.

The burden is on the taxpayer (you) to prove that your tax return is accurate.

if the IRS feels like your standard of living is significantly above your income/assets then they will audit you and they have great investigative ability.



I wonder if they accept the "computer crashed and lost all documents" argument from their victims?

If you cannot produce documents then they can pretty much accuse you (and win) of pretty much everything.

LOL on the Louis Lenner link.

The burden of proof is in the hands of the accuse; it is commun that tax payers end up having huge fines when they didn't cheat or broke the law

The fact that it was not intentional may be considered attenuating circumstance in some cases but it will not save you of paying some fines
