Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to frequently asked questions about tax negotiation, IRS resolution, and
working with a tax attorney.

What should I do if the IRS is investigating me?

If you are under IRS investigation, contact a tax negotiation lawyer immediately. Do not speak with IRS agents without legal representation. An experienced attorney can protect your rights, communicate with investigators on your behalf, and work to resolve the matter before criminal charges are filed.

Can a tax negotiation lawyer reduce criminal penalties?

Yes, an experienced tax negotiation lawyer can often negotiate reduced charges or penalties. Through strategic negotiation with prosecutors, presentation of mitigating factors, and aggressive defense strategies, your attorney may secure reduced sentences, alternative sentencing, or in some cases, complete dismissal of charges.

What is the difference between civil tax penalties and criminal tax charges?

Civil tax penalties involve financial consequences such as fines, interest, and additional taxes owed. Criminal tax charges are prosecuted by the government and can result in imprisonment, substantial fines, and a permanent criminal record.

When does tax debt become a criminal case?

Tax debt typically becomes criminal when the IRS determines there was willful intent to evade taxes, fraud, or intentional failure to file returns. Factors include substantial unreported income, false statements, offshore accounts, or repeated failure to file.

How long does a criminal tax case take to resolve?

Criminal tax cases vary in duration based on complexity, jurisdiction, and whether the case goes to trial. Investigations can take months or years, while court proceedings may add additional time.
