Federal Tax Fraud

Looking for an expert federal tax fraud attorney? Tax fraud is the act of avoiding paying taxes or limiting paying taxes through illegal ways.  Usually this involves filing a false tax return, tax evasion, filing false documents, failure to collect employment or sales taxes, failure to pay taxes, and failing to file a tax return.  For many years now, starting with the infamous Al Capone, many individuals that are accused of some type of financial crime are also accused of tax evasion, since both go hand in hand. Many cases involving Healthcare Fraud, Mail and Wire Fraud, as well as Money Laundering, also involve the act of Tax Evasion.  The investigation in these types of cases is usually initiated by the enforcement arm of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the FBI.  Thereafter, these cases are prosecuted by the local United States Attorney’s office.  The penalties for committing tax evasion or tax fraud range severe, depending on the amount of the loss to the government along with other factors.  A conviction in Federal Court for tax fraud or tax evasion can lead to significant monetary penalties as well as commitment in federal prison.
