The Internal Revenue Service can impose criminal charges
leading to jail time, fines and penalties for
failure to file a tax return, hiding assets to avoid
tax, tax fraud and various others tax crimes.
If an IRS Special Agent contacts you, the Internal
Revenue Service is conducting a criminal investigation.
Do not talk or give any
information to any agent, as whatever you say can
and will be used against you in a subsequent court
trial.
If your bank notifies you that the Criminal
Investigation Division of the IRS or the U.S. Attorney's
Office is requesting copies of your bank records, there
is a high likelihood that you and/or your company are
under criminal investigation.
If you receive a notice from the IRS that one or more of
your previous tax years are being audited AND you know
that the returns filed contain either substantial understatements of
income or overstatements of deductions, or both, you
should not have any further discussions with your
accountant regarding the returns until you have engaged
a qualified criminal tax attorney. Although this is initially only a civil
audit, Revenue Agents are trained to be on the lookout
for fraud red flags and to refer potential fraud to the
Criminal Investigation Division. The existing
"accountant-client privilege" does not extend to
criminal investigations so your accountant may be forced
to tell the Internal Revenue Service what you have told
him.
If any of these events happen to you, we can help.
