Should I turn someone in to the IRS if i know they've committed tax fraud?
My ex takes very liberal deductions in order to mitigate the taxes he pays. I know he has deducted divorce attorney expenses as a business expense, he's deducted personal vacations with his daughter as a business expense. The Forensic Accoutant's report is part of our public record in family court, but my ex didn't like what the accountant found and claimed it was heresay, so the judge, even though he ordered the accounting and appointed the accountant, he sustained the objection my ex claimed and the judge never saw the report. The forensic accountant's report is very thorough, and he saw right through everything my ex was doing. Unfortunately our judge in family court is very biased and allows my ex to just claim he can't get tax returns for a company he is 50% owner of- so the court says that the income for that company is $0. Apparently the judge believes my ex so the millions he's earning is not even counted for purposes of support simply because he says he can't get the information. I think this is wrong. I want to turn him into the IRS since I can't get this judge to see what he's doing.
You can report his behavior to the IRS and if the fraud is large enough the IRS has a whistleblower reward program. I recommend you take a look at the website for that program. Whether or not the reward program applies, you certainly can turn him in. One thing to consider of course is if he is paying child support or alimony, otherwise known as maintenance in some states, he may have trouble paying that if he gets in trouble with the IRS. Many lawyers like myself do help people with those IRS tax fraud reward programs, but again it makes sense to take a look at the website to see if you think there will be enough fraud that the IRS would consider rewarding you for it. Good luck with this! I'm sorry it's happening to you.
