Common Types of Tax & IRS Fraud

Recognize the Red Flags

Understating income

Small or large businesses may understate cash transactions and wealthy individuals may not report multi-million dollar revenue. 

Ignoring requirements to file a return

Failure to file can be prosecuted as tax fraud in circumstances where the defendant knew they had an obligation to file a return.

Misrepresenting events or status in the tax return

Individuals and taxable entities may deceive tax agencies regarding their qualifications for tax deductions or credits.

False expenses

This includes claiming personal expenses as business costs, inflating amounts paid, or creating fake records.
