The article notes that 90 percent of delinquents last year earned under $5000 and filed Form 1040-A. Unmarried men head families and think they need not file. married men file only if income reaches $2000. Single men must file at $1000, with possible head of family exemptions under $2000. The revenue service can detect delinquents via alien departures, employer reports of $1000 plus to employees, and other checks after the filing period ends.
