Protecting Your Rights During a Criminal Investigation by the IRS
Certified Tax Attorney: Tax Fraud and Tax Evasion Cases
Criminal tax cases are investigated by the Criminal Investigation Division ("CID") of the Internal Revenue Service. Criminal tax fraud or tax evasion cases can be initiated by CID as a result of a tip from an informant who may be, for example, a disgruntled employee or former spouse. Cases may also be referred to CID by an IRS auditor based on information revealed during a routine IRS audit of a business or individual. Generally, individuals learn that they are being investigated before they are charged or indicted with a crime. Obtaining legal representation early in an investigation allows the taxpayer an opportunity to demonstrate that he or she was not intentionally attempting to defraud the government and to present evidence to explain items that may have led to the allegations or to demonstrate that the government's case is unsupported by the facts.
Tax fraud and tax evasion crimes are serious and can result in significant civil and criminal penalties. In addition, CID investigators and federal prosecutors take tax fraud and tax evasions cases very seriously and aggressively prosecute them. Early intervention into a criminal tax matter by Certified Tax Specialist Attorney, John Kachmarsky may allow us to assist in reducing or dismissing charges and to negotiate penalties and fines. We work actively with accountants and former IRS employees to present a taxpayer's case to the government in an effort to satisfactory resolve a taxpayer's problems and to minimize the risk of prosecution resulting in client satisfaction and savings of time, money and negative publicity. If you have been contacted by the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service and need representation to protect your rights, contact our office immediately to schedule an appointment with tax attorney John Kachmarsky.
