Old meme, but (1) you don’t go to prison for making a mistake on your taxes in America — you have to do a big fraud (2) no, the government doesn’t always know how much you owe, they only know stuff like domestic W2s and what banks file. There is a huge amount of ways to make income outside of that
I’m guessing 50% of individuals would be covered by just those 2 methods. Other methods would quickly follow once people realize how the rest of the world does not cater to crazy and the ones they can legally bribe (“lobby”).
