Because you know what they will do. They'll be going after the honest people who made an error and hitting them because the IRS knows they can't fight back.
It is their job to collect the correct amount of tax. Honest people and crooked people. Honest people typically will not be charged a penalty or have the threat of imprisonment involved.
Crooks can be charged with fraud.
You overpay your tax you might just get a refund.

The interest is some bs. They sent me too large a refund. Took them 4 years to catch it. They tried to hit me with a penalty until I finally talked to a human being. Then all i had to pay back was their error plus interest. And it was far more interest than i ever could have made from the extra money in their mistake.Interest is automatic. Penalties are not.
I had what they thought was a $36,000 mistake in 2018. No penalty assessed.
I don't get the impression BOM is like the average lawyer who loves new and complicated laws because they drive up business. I think he's more on the respectable side which most good accountants are.
A CPA firm sent me a K-1 from a Subs Corporation. The CPA firm decided that they made an error so they sent me an "amended" K-1.Was it a mistake on your part?

It appears that the Amended 1120S was not marked as "amended" so the IRS got the info two times. My two K-1s were entered.
So I sent 18 pages of information to the IRS to clear things up. The IRS accepted my docs and cleared things up in about 4-6 weeks.
This was for stock I owned in a bank. A local firm had filed our return for about 20 years without a problem. The bank decided to hire a firm that specialised in banks. Oh well. To their credit they offered to handle the prolem for all shareholders. Free of course.
Like I said..the code is a cluster****..
Hey man I filed 1040 and amended with a K-1 so had to file a L-2 which caused me to file an M-3.1.1A.1 subset 1040.2.6.
It was not a code problem.
The Bank's CPAs made an error, and the IRS had been materially downsized in 2018.
Yes the code is difficcult to follow for most people, and You really need tax software to file anything other the most simple returns.
