What to Do If You are Accused of Tax Fraud
- Do not delay– As soon as you are notified of a tax fraud investigation gather all of our financial books and records.
- Take the situation very seriously – A tax fraud conviction may result in up to 5 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
- Seek legal counsel from an experienced tax attorney – A tax fraud case is too serious to handle on your own or leave to a tax preparer or accountant.
- Do not volunteer information to the IRS – Let your tax attorney be your representation
- Be cautious of what you say to your accountant or tax preparer – These conversations are not privileged as they are with a lawyer.
