• Tax fraud: Tax fraud is the federal offense of willfully attempting to avoid or minimize the payment of taxes due to the IRS. When you have been criminally accused of tax fraud, it is important to hire an experienced lawyer who is familiar with the IRS, and with federal tax codes and criminal law.
• Willful tax evasion: Often it is difficult to distinguish between honest mistakes and willful tax evasion. Tax evasion is fraud committed by intentionally filing false tax returns. It is often related to allegations of underreporting income or over-deducting business-related expenses.
• Failure to file: People do not file tax returns for a variety of reasons, including work and personal problems. However, failure to file tax returns can be a criminal offense.
• Failure to pay employees’ payroll withholding tax: Employers often run into trouble when they are accused of crimes related to their payrolls. These can include deliberately misclassifying employees so as to avoid tax liability.
