Tax Fraud
Most IRS CI investigations focus on federal tax fraud. Federal tax fraud includes tax evasion, failure to collect or pay tax, failure to file a return, supply information, or pay tax, making fraudulent and false statements, and attempting to interfere with the administration of the tax laws. Examples include:
- Deliberately underreporting or omitting income,
- Overstating the amount of deductions
- Keeping two sets of books
- Making false entries in books and records
- Claiming personal expenses as business expenses
- Claiming false deductions
- Hiding or transferring assets or income.
Tax fraud is not just a crime limited to individuals or companies. Tax preparers have also been indicted for alleged tax fraud schemes.
