Tax fraud and tax evasion is a common occurrence. In most tax audits, the IRS seeks to claim owed taxes and any penalties or interest. However, if the IRS is suspicious, they can impose a civil tax fraud penalty which is equal to 75% of the tax owed plus interest on the penalty. The IRS could also send the case to the IRS Criminal Investigation Unit for criminal tax prosecution. It’s best to have a skilled and experienced tax attorney on your side when facing charges from the IRS.
The following are the most common criminal investigation cases:
- Abusive Return Preparer
- Abusive Tax Schemes
- Bankruptcy Fraud
- Corporate Fraud
- Employment Tax Enforcement
- Financial Institution Fraud
- Gaming
- General Fraud
- Healthcare Fraud
- Identity Theft
- Insurance Fraud
- Money Laundering
- Mortgage and Real Estate Fraud
- Non-filer Enforcement
- Questionable Refund Program
The penalties associated with these frauds range from paying excessive fines to spending time in a federal penitentiary. These matters are significant and deserve the attention of an experienced trial attorney.
