For a lot of people, their taxes are so complicated that it takes paying a professional to sort them out and even have a hope of doing them properly. And the professional is relying on their clients giving them the full and accurate information that they need to be able to do so. Many people resist paying for this service in the first place until they are already in trouble. Others do not reveal all they should to their accountants, often through misunderstandings (when you have multiple business partnerships, investments, properties, etc., and mountains of paperwork on all of it, is that really surprising?).

I would imagine that if a random sample of Americans were audited, just to see, the vast majority would have some problem wrong with their taxes - the tax code is ridiculously complicated.
