I've never had any of my bank accounts, and have had and do have numerous, just "stop functioning". The managers of my branch have always called me and said, "Ralph, we need a copy of your tax declaration, etc, etc" and at times I've taken several months before I got them what they asked for for various reasons. Afterall, one can file late in Brazil, you will be fined, but they're not going to close your bank account because of it. As long as we're not talking about years late.
