If you do not file an income tax return the IRS will send a request for it (assuming that they had enough income reported to them to believe that you were required to file one).
If you still don't file one, usually within a few years, the IRS is authorized under Section 6020(b) to file a return on your behalf based upon the information that was reported to them. This is called a "Substitute for Return" in IRS lingo. Once they file that return, one of two things will happen:
- If they show that you were due a refund, they will stop the process (they will not voluntarily send you a refund if you did not go to the trouble of preparing a return).
- If you owe money, they will assess it and begin collection action against you.
Of course, the IRS can only prepare a tax return based upon income that is reported to them. This means that if you do not have income reported to you via a W-2 or 1099, they likely have no idea what kind of money you are or are not earning.
If you are in such a situation, it is possible that you can go years and years (or forever) without filing a return and, because the IRS doesn't have any information about your income, they will never prepare a return for you.
