Professor Robert Nassau, director of the Sherman F. Levey ’57, L’59 Low Income Taxpayer Clinic, spoke with CNBC for an article on penalties the IRS can impose for failure to pay your income taxes.
According to Nassau, some taxpayers don’t file returns for various reasons.
In some cases, they may think,”[the IRS is] never going to find me” or “they’re frightened and overwhelmed by the prospect of owing money,” he said.
