Failure to pay income tax typically results in civil penalties rather than criminal charges. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can impose fines, interest, and liens on property for unpaid taxes. However, in cases of willful tax evasion or fraud, criminal charges may be pursued, leading to potential jail time. Overall, most tax payment issues are addressed through civil remedies, while criminal actions are reserved for more serious offenses.

Can a bench warrant be issued for failure to pay medical bills?

No. A bench warrant is a method used to compel appearance for a criminal or quasi-criminal (like traffic tickets that require an appearance in court) matter. Failure to pay medical bills is a civil action. The courts do not arrest people or compel their appearance for simple failure to pay a debt. If a defendant fails to appear for a civil trial, the court will enter a default judgment against the missing party, but will not issue a bench warrant.
