What Qualifies as Tax Fraud in Florida?
Failure to file income taxes is a serious offense that can lead to substantial fines and prison time if you are convicted. The penalties are situational and depend on the number of years you allegedly failed to file taxes and the amount of taxes you owe the federal government.
In any case, you can be charged with a tax fraud in Florida if you avoid paying your rightful amount of taxes to the proper government agency.
Different types of tax crimes can include:
- Tax evasion
- Failure to file a tax return
- Filing a false tax return
- Willful failure to collect or pay employee’s payroll withholding tax
- Failure to pay state sales tax
You could be forced to pay up to $100,000 in fines (or $500,000 for corporations) and even spend up to five years in prison if you are found guilty, so the best time to contact a criminal defense attorney is now. By getting involved early on in the case, we can take steps to protect your rights. We may even be able to negotiate with the IRS to work out a deal that doesn’t involve criminal penalties.
