Investigators looking at documentsHave you had IRS agents come to your house or job? Did you ever experience tax reporting problems or were you told you’re under investigation for tax fraud or evasion?

What is a Federal Tax Fraud or Evasion Crime?

Tax fraud is when a person and/or business fails to pay taxes owed. 

Tax evasion is when a person and/or business intentionally misrepresents their tax return information to avoid paying higher taxes. 

While they both are serious crimes, tax evasion comes with a heftier penalty, as a Fort Lauderdale attorney can explain. 

26 U.S. Code § 7201 defines tax fraud and evasion as any person who willfully attempts in anymanner to evade or defeat any tax.

CONSEQUENCES OF FEDERAL TAX FRAUD OR EVASION CRIMES

In Florida, you can be charged with misdemeanors or felony crimes on the state level.  You may be required to pay any taxes owed along with other penalties. But let’s dig a little deeper.

If you are found guilty you will be fined up to $100,000 or $500,000 and/or imprisoned up to 5 years. You may also have to reimburse the government for the cost of prosecution and court fees. The court would take into consideration if you are a repeat or first time offender, which would have an impact on your sentencing. The court can also impose fines in addition to prison and probation sentences.

Federal tax evasion and fraud has serious penalties. You could face up to 5 years in prison for each count of the crime. Fines for a tax evasion conviction can range up to $250,000 for an individual or $500,000 for corporations. Other tax fraud penalties can include $100,000 individual fines and up to $250,000 for corporations.

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
