Legal Counsel For Tax Fraud Tax Evasion And Tax Preparer Fraud
The IRS employs thousands of specially trained special agents to uncover tax fraud and tax evasion. These agents wield substantial power, as they can audit tax returns, subpoena your financial information and undertake all sorts of investigative measures. As the IRS continues intense scrutiny of tax preparers across Texas and the rest of the United States, you may find yourself in the crosshairs of an investigation. Depending on the seriousness of the allegations, individual or corporate taxpayers accused of fraud or evasion could face civil fines and even criminal penalties.

Avoiding Indictment By The IRS Is Possible
IRS carefully scrutinizes tax preparers, and if it has reason to believe a tax preparer is creating a false or misleading return, it will act swiftly.

Even if you didn’t commit fraud, a conversation with IRS agents can quickly go south and they may use your statements to make a criminal indictment against you. However, working with skilled legal counsel can help you reduce the risk of incriminating yourself and giving agents reason to believe they should indict you.
