Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
Something to think about when you file your taxes: if you have something that the IRS might ask questions about, do you have a reasonable explanation for it? Maybe you do, but think about the possibility of being audited.
This article (via taxprof) talks a little about who is likely to be audited: typically the highest and lowest earners.
Something else to think about: maybe you know someone who hasn't paid their taxes. You might be able to get an award for letting the IRS know that he or she hasn't filed. It's called a whistle blower award. The catch is that you might have to wait years to get the award. More information here. One more catch: you need to give information that's more than just a hint, or suspicion that someone isn't paying.
