Post: Tax Question

Question:
I understand that the IRS does not penalize a person who
fails to file a federal return where that person was owed
a refund.
As a practical matter, do State practices follow federal
practices. i.e. If a person fails to file a state tax
return where the filer was due a refund, does the State
normally pursue criminal charges against that person? The
text of NC's statute does not seem to differentiate b/t
these two types of people who may have failed to file.
