And the IRS is SSSSSOOOOOOOOO generous working out payment plans and being flexible - they never toss people in prison or seize assets for tax evasion.  Nope.  Never.

So while the plan sounds dumb on the surface, getting a few pennies on the dollar for a debt the IRS won't collect anyway AND getting rid of that govt worker (and their benefits and pension)....actually sounds like a pretty good idea.

Just personal experience, the IRS was always ok to deal with. Both as someone who had paid incorrectly and was supposed to get a refund (did eventually) and as someone who filled incorrectly and has been audited multiple times in the last decade.
