You don't *have* to participate in the amnesty program. But if you have some cash available, you might be able to pay some of those years down and keep your installment agreements on others - they can better assess your situation.

I'd be interested in hearing why you think they do. The common perception regarding amnesty programs is that they actually reduce future compliance rates, as taxpayers will forgo filing anticipating another amnesty program down the road. I'm not sure if there are any statistics to back this up, but my personal opinion is that while there would be immediate increased revenues for the entity offering the amnesty (in whatever time period the amnesty is), but as a long term approach to improving complaince it would not be successful. That would be achieved only by drastic simplification of the code. Do amnesty programs truly work? I’d be interested in hearing why you think they do.
