Reuters' reports...........

....the 2009 U.S. tax season promises to see a large uptick in first-time delinquent income taxpayers.

"Our calls are up 280 percent," said Richard Boggs, founder and chief executive of Los Angeles-based Nationwide Tax Relief, a firm that helps delinquent taxpayers resolve tax issues.

"We've seen a huge rise in what we call the rookie delinquent taxpayer," he said. "They are incredibly scared, and they have no idea what's going to happen to them because, God bless them, they've never owed before."

As the weak economy puts job security and a steady flow of income on a slippery slope, many are wary of the U.S. tax man, tax consultants say.


You don't reckon the average American taxpayer has learned in the last few months that the way to get their nose in the Federal Trough in the Obamanation administration is to quit paying their taxes do you? Great health care bennies, good retirement stuff == and an instant high paying 'consultant' job in four years when the 'gig' is over!!!
