After I moved to Seattle, Michigan sent me a letter saying I owed from my last year in state and I mailed a copy of my cleared check and that was that...I think, never heard any different.
I did have years where I couldn't afford to pay the full federal bill due and I paid the fees to pay in installments for a few years. There was also a year I transposed by numbers and paid short and they sent me a notice and I paid the balance. I don't think I had to pay a late fee but if I did it was so small that I can't remember it.
I find taxes to be easy but there is no reason we don't do what other countries do and just have Treasury send us a bill or a refund...they know what every w2 employee makes and pays.
I'm not sure if other countries have a 1099 equivalent so not sure how they work that.
There was this time when my taxes paid for drone strikes on civilians, and I was all like, “That’s not what I voted for!” What the hell, man.
I've never had a big issue with the IRS or taxes.
