This is a question that cannot be answered in a couple of paragraphs. I would suggest that you read IRS Publication 594, "The IRS Collection Process" at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p594.pdf. Sharon http://taxresolutionaries.blogspot.com
Delinquent tax returns are tax returns that have been filed late, or not at all; usually this incurs penalties and fees that increase over time, so it's best to pay your taxes fully and on time.
Punishment can include fines, imprisonment, monetary penalties, and interest charges.
Income tax evasion is a crime, for which some people have gone to jail, but before that you'll face penalties for failing to file, penalties for failing to pay any tax you owe, and interest on the unpaid taxes.
Some effects of tax avoidance would be heavy fines and penalties imposed by the IRS. They could also garnish your wages and could even sentence you to jail time.
Withholding tax, if not done correctly, can cause punitive damages severe enough to close a business. It is a highly regulated area that involves stipulated rate calculations and tax tables. Adhering to the taxing authority guidelines is imperative to avoid any penalties and interest, or other punitive measures. There are penalties of fines and possible imprisonment if wrong calculations are made. Employee penalties would be fines of up to $1,000 or imprisonment for up to one year or both
To pay taxes people don't register. They fill out tax forms and then file. If they fail to file they face fines and penalties making the tax due higher.

You can still do past years. If you do not, it will just catch up with you at sometime in the future, and then you may have accumulated fines and penalties.

E-tax returns
If it was a tax judgment that is 14 years old, you are also probably paying off fines penalties, and interest costs.
A tax evasion charge can result in many penalties including, losing your assests, fines, and jail time. Not all cases result in jail time, but some result in all three penalties listed. It is generally considered a misdemeanor, but if a pattern of evasion can be proven the person may be charged with a felony.
Business taxes are levied on the income and profits of a business by the government. The amount of tax a business pays is based on its earnings and can vary depending on the type of business structure. Businesses are required to file tax returns and pay taxes to the government on a regular basis. Deductions and credits can help reduce the amount of tax owed. Failure to comply with tax laws can result in penalties and legal consequences.
Nothing happens, assuming you were not required to file any tax returns during that period. If you were required to file a return and failed to do so, the statute of limitations on any tax you owe, penalties and interest does not start to run until you file a return. There are potentially large penalties that will far exceed any tax you owed.
