I'm quite sure there are more than a few who are so broke they don't have the money to pay the accountant/tax preparer. But what I meant was that people who have federal withholding and get paid a wage (not a salary and bonus) typically can't stop paying their taxes because they have no control over it. A wage earner can't stop paying their fed withholding if their employer is not in on it.
People like these are not filing at all:
Business owners who went belly-up but owe sales/use and income taxes for the year but are now broke and can't pay.
People who made some money during the course of the year that they typically would pay at tax time, but whose situation changed during the course of the year and they spent the money they typically would save for paying their taxes.
Unemployed people who have raided their 401K's and annuities for lump-sum payments to stay in their homes and did not have the taxes withheld and who now find themselves with a whopping tax bill.
