If you have been accused of tax fraud, tax evasion, offshore account tax crimes, or some other tax crimes, your future might be uncertain. It is intimidating to be contacted by an IRS special agent and knowing the best path forward can be challenging.

Don’t face these accusations alone, reach out to our law firm and get connected with our friendly representatives to schedule a consultation. Doing so could be the difference between facing serious penalties and avoiding them.
Criminal tax fraud allegations are serious and can lead to severe penalties including prison time, fines, and a criminal record. Allegations could be the end of your business or personal reputation even if they do not end in court.

Being accused of willfully underreporting your income is a serious matter that could lead to prosecution, prison time, fines, and other penalties. Our lawyers will listen to your case and advise you on the best steps forward.

The difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion is substantial, especially when it comes to legality. Tax avoidance is legal and is a strategic move(s) on the part of an individual or business to pay fewer taxes. For instance, your business could register as an LLC or S-Corp to reduce taxable income or you could use retirement accounts to defer or reduce taxes. Tax evasion, on the other hand, is illegal and happens when a person or business willfully avoids paying taxes by concealing income, falsifying records, or misrepresenting financial information. Tax evasion comes with hefty penalties so if you’re being investigated, you should have a skilled lawyer on your side.
Knowing whether you need a CPA or a tax attorney for your IRS problem is important as they both deal with taxes, but bring different experience and qualifications to the table. For more simple and routine matters such as IRS notices about math errors, routine audits, amending past mistakes on tax returns, and general tax compliance, a CPA will do the job well. However, if you are facing more serious matters such as an investigation for tax fraud or evasion or large tax debt negotiations, an attorney is who you need. Your attorney can protect you legally and represent you throughout the entire process while you are protected under the attorney-client privilege.
Tax evasion is a federal crime under 26 U.S.C. § 7201, and the penalties can be severe. A conviction may result in up to five years in federal prison and fines of up to $100,000 for individuals or $500,000 for corporations. In addition to criminal penalties, individuals may also face civil fines, lasting damage to their reputation, a permanent criminal record, and even the loss of professional licenses.
If you are under investigation for tax evasion, it is critical that you seek experienced legal representation immediately. Contact Silver Law PLC today to schedule a confidential consultation and protect your future.
Yes, you can go to jail for not paying your taxes, but there must be some willful tax evasion or fraud involved. If there is, you will face the penalties associated with these federal crimes such as fines and prison time. However, you cannot go to jail for simply being unable to pay your taxes or unintentionally filing taxes with mistakes. In these cases, you will still face penalties such as interest, tax liens, wage garnishments, and asset seizure, but jail is not a penalty. If you have found mistakes on your tax returns or you have substantial tax debt, reach out to our lawyers for legal direction.
If you haven’t filed taxes for several years, the IRS can and likely will take action. In many cases, they already have records of your income and may file a return on your behalf — without applying deductions or credits that could lower what you owe. You could face significant penalties, including a failure-to-file penalty of up to 5% of unpaid taxes per month, along with daily compounding interest. In more serious cases where the failure to file is considered willful, criminal penalties may also apply.
When you think you are being investigated for tax fraud or tax evasion, you might wonder when is the right time to get a lawyer involved. The answer is: as soon as you notice any signs of an investigation. Signs could include an IRS audit notice that is focused on unreported income, offshore accounts, or suspicious deductions, a summons for financial records, and contact with an IRS Criminal Investigation agent. Hiring an attorney as soon as possible helps you create a strategic defense plan even before any charges are filed. It also allows you to possibly use negotiation as a resolution instead of going to court. If you believe you are being investigated, reach out to our lawyers and we can help you create a plan forward.
An IRS Special Agent is a part of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division. They are not a regular IRS auditor, but are a step above when it comes to investigating tax crimes. They look into evasion, fraud, money laundering, bankruptcy fraud, and offshore tax crimes. You will only be contacted by an agent if you are suspected of criminal intent with your taxes. If an agent contacts you wanting to ask a few questions, you should avoid speaking with them and contact your lawyer right away. If you are under investigation, it is likely your case is serious and possibly headed towards prosecution. Don’t wait to contact a Draper tax crimes attorney right away.
