Frequently Asked Questions About Tax Crimes
What Is An IRS Special Agent?
IRS Special Agents are the ones who are in charge of investigating tax crimes. If one contacts you, that means that they think that you committed a tax crime. After the investigation, they will then determine if you should be charged with a tax crime. They may try to catch you off guard and first meet you in person outside your office or elsewhere. It is important to get a lawyer before speaking with them. We are ready to help there.
Can You Go To Jail For Not Paying Taxes?
Yes. You could face up to a year in prison for each year you did not file taxes.
