Tax evasion is a crime that is punishable with asset seizure, fines and imprisonment.\u00a0 The temptation to underreport income occurs with self-employed cash intensive businesses.\u00a0 Tax fraud can also involve using a fake or false social security number, claiming to many dependents on your tax return and falsifying your accounting records.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t assume that when you get a letter to be audited that the IRS suspects tax fraud.\u00a0 Most audits generate some adjustments to the tax amount owed.\u00a0 Auditors are trained to know the difference between tax evasion and honest mistakes.<\/p>\n
If you are found guilty of tax evasion, you will not only have the tax, interest and penalties added but also the expenses of the cost to prosecute your case in court.\u00a0 This situation is one in which the services of a tax attorney is highly recommended.\u00a0 The attorney you select should have a majority of his or her practice with tax evasion case work.<\/p>\n
If you suspect or know that you are guilty of tax evasion, it is best to tell the IRS right up front that you want to have legal representation.\u00a0 The IRS will agree to you right to be represented by an attorney.\u00a0 Who you pick to represent you is very important.\u00a0 Someone who is respected by the IRS as well as the Judge will have a greater chance of reducing the chances of imprisonment.\u00a0 We can recommend an attorney that you can trust and have confidence will represent you in the best possible manner.<\/p>\n
