Tax Fraud Lawyer Anne Arundel County, MD
Tax fraud is a scary concept for many people. You may be imagining yourself in jail or having to pay the IRS tens of thousands of dollars, all for one mistake or judgment error. We’re here to help protect you and shield you from the worst consequences. Tax fraud charges usually start with an IRS audit. The auditor sees something amiss or suspicious, so they take a deep dive into your income, reported tax credits, and filings. Sometimes, the author transfers the matter to a tax fraud referral specialist, who performs a second investigation to determine if the case should be transferred to the IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID). This is the law enforcement division of the IRS, and it determines whether an individual or business will be prosecuted.
If the IRS CID determines that an individual has used illegal or fraudulent means to avoid paying taxes, it files charges. Don’t take these charges lightly. Federal prosecutors have far-reaching powers to investigate individuals for tax fraud. You could be facing jail time for understating income, making cash transactions, having disorganized records, or failing to file tax returns. These innocent mistakes could cost you thousands of dollars and lead to years in prison.
