What can happen for failing to file income tax returns would depend on a lot of things.
It is possible that the IRS will file a substitute income tax return for you with out all of your possible deductions that you may be entitled to claim if you were to file your own income tax returns and complete them correctly.
You could miss out some refund amounts that you may have been due but failed to file your income tax within the required time period that you had for that purpose and the refund would no longer be available to you.
