Re: can someone go to jail
Yes. Nevertheless, if you file your tax returns BEFORE the IRS contacts you, typically they do not seek a criminal action. The rule is 3 or more years of non-filing is a presumption of criminal intent. I suggest:
1. You DO NOT SPEAK to anyone from the IRS;
2. You immediately call a TAX LAWYER (you want attorney-client privilege.)
I hope this helps!
