Understanding IRS Audits & Tax Crime Accusations

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) usually only audits 1% of all federal tax returns. Sometimes a specific portion or all of a tax return may need to be explained in further detail, or a line item expense is singled out for auditing. While auditing is not the same as a criminal accusation, it often leads to charges due to an honest mistake. The situation will be all the more severe if the IRS or another investigating agency believes you intentionally tried to commit illegal evasion or fraud.

Some accusations you may be facing in your tax crime case include:

• Intentionally assisting or aiding someone else in making a false or fraudulent tax return
• Failing to pay taxes
• Removing or concealing any goods or commodities with the intent of fraud
• Committing tax fraud in relation to compromises and closing agreements
• Mortgage fraud and related accusations of tax fraud
• Sheltering taxable income from the IRS
• Money laundering charges that may be related to tax evasion or RICO investigations

There are many ways to legally reduce or avoid taxes. Some people are accused of a serious tax crime when they have actually followed all legal channels as needed. Even when you are confident you have not committed tax fraud or evasion, though, you need to make certain you can prove it in court. Otherwise, you could be convicted all the same.
