What Is Tax Fraud?

When there is something in your tax record that makes the Internal Revenue Service suspicious, they will give notice of an investigation which could lead to an accusation of tax fraud.

A tax fraud conviction carries with it some severe consequences. This type of fraud is a felony and a federal crime, so it can come with both fines and jail time. Actions that could be counted as tax fraud may include:

  • Claiming fake dependents
  • Failing to declare all income
  • Claiming false deductions
  • Overstating deductions
  • Tax evasion
  • Hiding or transferring assets
  • Using illegal or offshore tax shelters
