The IRS doesn't jail tax cheats as a first step. What they will do first is put tax liens on all your assets. If you have any bank accounts, they'll take the money from those accounts. If you work, they'll attach your wages. If that still doesn't cover your tax bill, they auction off your house and other remaining assets (cars, jewelry, etc.) to pay your tax bill. The IRS would rather get their money than have someone sit in jail.
Skipping out on your taxes is a federal felony. I wouldn't necessarily take it lightly. Having that sitting on your records wouldn't necessarily be too much fun.

Well, you don't say why it hasn't existed for you, so congratulations.
Don't, however, take the advice of "Johnny Walker" listed below- this is a tax protestor stance, listed as a scam on the IRS website, and will, eventually, cause you more trouble than you want. In addition to being wrong, it can cost an additional $25,000 fine for taking a frivilous position. Just ask Erwin Schiff, America's leading idiotic tax protestor, now serving 20 years in prison.
If you are not required to file, OK. If you are and don't, set aside a boatload of money for a good attorney.

Well, jail eventually if you make enough to owe taxes. If you don't make much and keep a very low profile, you might get away with it for a long time.
Asking this kind of question on the web would NOT fall into the category of keeping a low profile.
Why do you feel you should be able to freeload off the rest of us?

As long as you do not exceed the state and federal limits for income during the year you have nothing to be worried about. If you make more than $8000 per year though you are setting yourself up for an audit which can be very costly if you have not paid the taxes that are due. In that case they can garnish your wages and take any furture returns up to the amount that you owe.

If you have received income legally, and have not paid taxes, than you could be charged with tax evasion. I am not familiar with the sentencing leniency, but jail is a strong possibility. I find it outrageous that I will be paying for your stay in jail, with my hard earned dollars. You are a drain on society and the economy, you lack self-empowerment, and you are what is wrong with this country.

Hey, prison's a nice place if you don't mind being girlfriend to some big, hairy, ugly thing, terrible food, and working 12 hour days, 7 days a week and the prospect of some skinhead shoving a shank between your ribs or up your backside is to your liking. If that's your idea of "fun", knock yourself out.

Have fun now but when you retire - that means too damn old to work - don't expect any social security benefits because you will not qualify. Maybe you could go to jail then to get some food.

There is no law in America that says you have to pay tax.The I.R.S is like the mob collecting protection money, totally illegal.
The 16th admendment of the constitution say no American shall be taxed on his labor,people stop paying taxes.
