This situation highlights a fascinating tension between the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution—a legal paradox where the government’s power to tax intersects with an individual’s right to remain silent.

In the landmark 1927 case United States v. Sullivan, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a taxpayer cannot refuse to file a return simply because their income came from illegal activities like bootlegging or racketeering. The Court held that while the Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination, it does not provide blanket immunity from the obligation to report income.

As a result, individuals must still report the amount of their illegal earnings to the IRS, though they may invoke the Fifth Amendment when it comes to disclosing the specific source. This creates a classic “Catch-22” for those involved in illicit activity: failing to report the income can lead to tax evasion charges, while reporting it dishonestly can result in prosecution for filing a false return.

It's no April Fools joke, y'all are gonna be late on your taxes. 👀

As of April 1, 2026, approximately 50% to 55% of the expected 164 million taxpayers have likely not yet filed their returns, based on standard filing patterns and 2026 early-season data indicating a slower pace than 2025.
Forbes

While the IRS expects about 164 million returns to be filed for the 2026 season, early data from late March 2026 showed that total returns received were still lagging behind 2025 levels.

Key 2026 Tax Filing Stats (As of March/April 2026):
Total Returns Expected: ~164 million.
Lagging Trend: As of March 13, 2026, the IRS had received roughly 69.7 million returns, trailing 2025 numbers.
Procrastination Rates: An IPX1031 report found that 29% of Americans planned to procrastinate on filing in 2026.
Delayed Filing Behavior: 18% of Americans planned to file in April, with an additional 19% admitting they wait until the final Tax Day (April 15) to file.
Top Reasons for Delay: Complicated processes, lack of time, and fear of owing money.

Therefore, with about two weeks left to go in the regular season as of early April, roughly half or more of the total expected returns for 2026 are usually still pending.
