Re: taxes & child support

No, it is considered stupid. If he is entitled to a refund, which would be redirected to his child, it would go to reduce the amount he ultimately must pay. If he waits too long, he will lose the refund because there is a 3 year statue of limitations from April 15th of when the tax return is due, whether he files or not. Meaning, he will lose his refund one way or the other.

Re: taxes & child support

It's only tax evasion if they are failing to pay tax. The IRS can file an estimated return on the taxpayer's behalf and bill them if they IRS believes they owe tax. Nonetheless, you are still required by law to file a tax return.
