That would likely fall under "fraud and false statements" (Title 26 USC section 7206(1)), which carries a maximum penalty of 3 years in federal prison or a $250,000 fine or both. Depending on the circumstances, it might be prosecuted as tax evasion (Title 26 USC section 7201) instead, which is 5 years and/or $250,000. Both of these are felonies, so they carry the common penalties of that (cannot own or control firearms, cannot vote) as well. You'll also (if found guilty) have to pay the prosecution costs.

This assumes the IRS believes it was willful and criminal. If they believe it was an honest mistake, then they'll just charge you the tax due plus a 20% penalty. If they think it you did it intentionally but don't think it's worth making a federal case (literally) about, then it's the tax due plus a 75% penalty.
