Tax Evasion
Have You Been Accused of Tax Fraud?
For many people, taxes are not a simple matter. Errors can be made. Things can be overlooked. Unfortunately, the IRS may not see the difference between an honest mistake and an intentional act of tax evasion. Furthermore, the IRS can make mistakes too. They may see fraud where none exists.
At The Law Offices of Mark J. Werksman, we are ready to stand steadfast beside you. With many years of experience handling the most complicated and high profile criminal defense cases, you can be confident we have what it takes to put things back in order.
The Many Faces of Tax Evasion
The IRS may come after you for tax evasion for a wide variety of reasons. Among the most common are failure to file tax returns in a timely manner and allegations that you provided false information about your income.
The deadlines for filing taxes are strict. You are expected to adhere to them every year. Additionally, it is expected that all of the information you provide be absolutely accurate. No source of income can be withheld.
Tax evasion and "structuring": Structuring money transactions - e.g., by carving up deposits - to avoid currency reporting requirements is a felony. We can defend you aggressively.
These matters are made more complex by the fact that you may not have been the one actually in charge of handling your taxes. Perhaps you had an assistant, an accountant or someone else handle the matter for you. You are still responsible in the end. Tax evasion charges will be made against you.
