It depends;sentences of between 5 and 10 years are possible, especially where fraud is involved.Merely not paying taxes rarely attracts criminal prosecution by itself. Filing a frivolous return (such as protesting the war) will cost you administrative penalties. If the IRS orders you to file a proper return and you subsequently fail to do so Then you leave yourself open to prosecution. Once the IRS has assessed your taxes -- sent you a bill -- if you fail to pay they will start seizing your wages, accounts receivable, or etc .
