Correct answers:
- Garnishing of wages — tax authorities can use collection tools (wage garnishment, levies) to collect unpaid taxes.
- Delay of the distribution of assets — estates often can’t be fully settled or distributed until tax issues are resolved.
- Penalties and interest charges on the tax due — unpaid taxes accrue penalties and interest, increasing what you owe.
(Imprisonment is possible only in rare cases of willful tax evasion; higher tax rates and automatic “loss of inheritance” are not typical direct consequences.)
