you just said.... "My accountant told me that a lot of his customers have simply stopped filing because they don't have the money to pay."

I assumed you meant... pay their taxes...or did you mean they aren't filing because they don't have the money to pay the accountant?

sole-owner and small business proprietors, independent contractors(sales people, realtors etc.), anyone paying quarterlies and property tax...these people are not all high earners and not counted in the unemployment stats when business dries up ....but they are people that keep the money moving through the system through their activity.....falling behind....penalties and interest piling up...just trying to keep the lights on...I know a bunch of them...
