Thousands of Millionaires haven't filed tax returns for years (washingtonpost.com)

[dead]

This seems bullshitty / current administration PR stunt - why would IRS bother with things like audits, when cashing out people that have income w/o returns is way easier? The odds of someone having 7 figure income and tax return so simple AND enough expenses/tax losses to offset the income tax fully to not have to file seem astronomically low.

The wording of this thing on the IRS website definitely makes it seem like an election year PR play: https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-launches-new-effort-aimed-a...

The article does not say why. I often wonder if this is an income rage where:

- personal finance is complicated enough for an "average" person doing their own accounting that they don's do it or do it poorly.

- income is not quite enough for a full time accountant.
