While that is absolutely true, you wouldn't believe the number of people I have coming in here that need to do tax returns for up to 10 years, all at the same time, because they stopped filing over owing child support. Or, how many of them have lost refunds because the return in question was being filed more than three years late.
Generally they finally file when the IRS catches up to them, or the judge threatens to jail them for not filing, or they have some other reason why they have to produce tax returns that is compelling enough that they finally file. I would say at least once or twice a week, all year long I have someone in here filing for that reason.
