Tax
fraud occurs when people or corporations seek to avoid paying the state,
federal, or local tax they owe. Tax crimes include failing to file tax returns;
evading payment of employment, sales, or excise tax; laundering money to hide
income; and using phony tax shelters or other tax-evasion schemes.
If
you can't pay taxes you owe, contact the IRS or other tax-collection agencies
promptly to negotiate a payment plan, or get help from a tax lawyer. The IRS
aggressively investigates and prosecutes suspected tax fraud. Also, f you
suspect a person or company of tax fraud, you can write the IRS. Convictions
for tax fraud can include substantial fines and jail time.
