Those who owe additional taxes and file on time avoid jail but pay penalties and interest around 1 percent per month. The IRS notes some will overpay due to overlooked deductions, while the Morgantown computer audits suspicious returns and may miss legitimate deductions. Treasury Secretary Connally says IRS has fewer auditors than in 1968.
