I think there's more nuance than that to it. I've made mistakes on my taxes, not been charged with a crime.
Small oops mistakes, I've never heard of someone being charged criminally.
BIG "yeah that was intentional" kinda obvious under-reporting of income, that turns into charges at times.
I actually had a big misunderstanding in terms of amounts once where the IRS thought I cashed out a large 401k. They simply sent me a letter and we mailed back and forth and I showed them that in fact I didn't cash it out and it just moved and it was all good.
