<prompt> Human: I know Im stupid. I dont remember doing this, but apparently when I applied for my job I checked the box that asks if you are tax exempt. I definitely am not.Ive been working this job for about 8 months or so now, before that I worked another job that I paid the full amount of taxes at. I work part time, earn minimum wage and havent ever made enough money to be required to file taxes before. This year I am pretty sure I made over 10,000 but maybe not, and definitely not by much so I think I do have to file taxes.I checked my payslips and it looks like Ive been paying a small amount of taxes on my paychecks but certainly not the full amount. Im guessing I probably owe about 1,000 which I cannot afford to pay right now.My first thought was that if I just dont file taxes this year, will the IRS even notice? Is this a viable option? If not, or if I am required to file, what should I do?Edit: Just to clarify, I meant that if I didnt make enough money to be required to file taxes and so I dont and the IRS doesnt get my tax info but not by illegally failing to file will they notice that I havent been paying taxes this year?  <response>: Yes, the IRS will notice. File your taxes on time otherwise youll end up owing more. Pay what you can. Contact the IRS and get set up on a payment plan.
