Criminal Tax Fraud
Definition:
Tax fraud is considered one of the most serious financial crimes in
the United States. Tax fraud is the act of misrepresenting
tax information so that monetary liability is reduced. Tax fraud can be committed
by an individual, a firm or a business. Underreporting taxable income, forging
tax documents or overstating deductions are also types of tax fraud that are
punishable by law.
Consequences of Tax Fraud:
Tax fraud cases are in the hands of The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) who are responsible for the investigation. The IRS will gather enough evidence to prove that tax fraud is occurring and the case goes through several reviews before official charges are filed with the individual or business. The penalties for tax fraud are serious, ranging up to 5 years in jail and fines for up to $500,000.What a Lawyer can do for you:
