“Mega-difference between "not looking" and "not paying".

IRS just declares "Spankee owes $9B in taxes. PAY NOW."

Spankee screams "Prove it!!".

IRS says we do NOT have to "prove it". We just declare it and you owe it. “

Sorry for the late response. And sorry, that’s not how tax reporting works in America. The way it works is:

Spankee says: “My net income was zero. I don’t owe any taxes.”

IRS says, normally: “Waitaminit, our info says different. We think you didn’t report all your income. We’re going to conduct an audit and make you pay taxes and penalties and interest for any unpaid taxes.”

IRS says, if you’re Trump: “Waitaminit, our info says different, but we’re not allowed to audit you, so thank you for fulfilling your tax obligations.”
