    Blows my mind that people earning that much aren’t filing their taxes. It’s hard to imagine that they’re oblivious to the requirement, so they’re just blatant cheaters?

        Were you “audited” or actually audited? So many people say they were “audited” when they actually just received a letter asking them to support what they claimed. An actual audit is a full review of absolutely everything to re-build up your returns from scratch and verify every little detail. Even for basic returns audits often take multiple days to complete.
