Boy I know IRS is gonna come after me for this, but I havent filed for taxes in 7 years .. Really never I worked a lot of odd jobs but never had them long enough to file. I know the government is gonna come after me unless I use the IRS is illegal defense. Quite frankly, I would rather just file. So my question is could I file for the years I didnt file and pray they dont audit me or should I just get ready to go to jail?

Looking at Winter and Summer. I'd like to come up with an average of gas usage for one person. EDF has tried to charge me £365.00 for 93 days!
I'd like an estimate of what other people use in London. Mine has always been less than £30.00 - even in Winter.
Any numbers?
