Owing isn't a crime, I don't think, they just eventually take your stuff if you make no effort to pay. Most people who owe are probably more or less broke and that's not a crime. The IRS is allowed to do things other creditors can't legally do, so owing them is a bad idea. For example, they can pull money right out of your bank account. It's just not as bad as trying to defraud them by filing a false return or hiding assets.
