my friend made $50,000 in 2005 and over $100,000 in 2006 so far as an independent contractor (1099-misc). she did not file for 2005 income and believes she can get away with not paying as much as she owes for 2005 and will owe for 2006 by settleing with the IRS when and if they contact her. i want to give her some advice on this but do not want to scare her un-neededily. if she made this amount ($100,000) in 2006 so far i estimate she would owe almost $40,000 in taxes. she says she has $30,000 in savings but will get rid of it before the IRS contacts her and then will settle for a lesser amount. (maybe use the $ to buy a car, which she believes the IRS can't confiscate if it is her only means of transportation). is this true? why hasn't the IRS contacted her about the $50,000 she made last year (1099-MISC). any advice? thank you.
