- yes, not everyone needs to file taxes
- most adults who earn money do
- there are legal and $ penalties for not filing taxes - depending on why- so yes, while not filing taxes is illegal, it doesn’t necessarily subject you to criminal penalties.
BUT, and this is a big BUT:
- Tax evasion is a criminal offense that occurs when an individual fails to file taxes despite knowing that there is a requirement to file.
Just ask Al Capone
