A number of actions can be considered a form of tax evasion and it is important to know exactly what one should avoid doing, or if they are already facing charges, understand why they are being charged. One of the most common actions looked for by prosecutors and investigators when dealing with a tax evasion case is failure to file tax returns. According to 26 USCS § 7203, failure to file a tax return is a Federal crime or offense for anyone who fails to file a federal income tax return when they are required to do so.

Another action which may constitute tax evasion is understatement of income. “A substantial understatement of income tax is defined as an understatement of tax that exceeds the greater of 10% of the tax required to be shown on the tax return or $ 5,000,” the firm states. This is somewhat similar to concealment of assets, which involves knowingly and fraudulently hiding one’s property and other assets in order to avoid taxes.

Other things which prosecutors may look for include dealing in cash to avoid payroll taxes, implausible or inconsistent explanations of behavior, attempting to conceal illegal activities, inadequate records, failure to make estimated tax payments and failure to cooperate with tax authorities. Defending oneself when facing such allegations requires the aid of a reputable and experienced MN tax evasion attorney.

“If you believe you are being investigated for or are being prosecuted for any of these crimes, you should speak to a federal criminal tax attorney immediately,” the firm says. “It is important to understand that all actions you take during the course of a tax audit may determine whether or not you are charged with a state or federal tax offense. For instance, lying or giving evasive answers to IRS investigators or state tax authorities, delaying tactics and other actions designed to mislead IRS or state tax agents can lead to state or federal criminal charges.”

A number of the firm’s clients have left Google reviews praising the firm for the work they do. Allen Wise, in a 5-Star review of the firm, stated, “I visited Andy from Birrell Law at their Minneapolis office after setting up a consultation. Although I was very nervous and confused, he was very patient with me and explained all of the options in my case. I couldn't be happier with the results and would refer them to anyone needing help in a bad situation.”
