From the cases I've read about in the news, you really have to have tried to evade and avoid before you actually face jail time. Marion Barry, already a convicted felon, didn't even file taxes for five years and he skated with a payment plan. Wesley Snipes went to jail because he flat out said he didn't have to pay taxes and the gov't. likes to make examples out of those types. Everyone else they just want to pay up.
