Any taxpayer, individual, business entity, or representative of an estate, can become the target of a criminal tax investigation. If you or your company has become the subject of an IRS criminal tax investigation or a Florida state tax investigation, it is important that you work with a skilled Orlando criminal defense lawyer who can help you protect your assets and freedom.

Criminal Tax Investigations

A federal criminal tax investigation may be conducted by a federal grand jury at the direction of the U.S. Attorney's Office, or by special agents of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division. Either way, the objective of the investigation is to determine if there is sufficient evidence to prosecute the taxpayer for willfully violating the tax law by committing tax fraud or other violations of federal criminal tax statutes.

State and federal tax law is complex, and there are many ways a person or organization could find themselves on the wrong side of an investigation. Some of the more common criminal tax law issues include:

• Failure to collect or pay state sales tax
• Willful failure to collect or pay employee's payroll withholding tax
• Unreported offshore accounts and foreign income
• Federal tax evasion
• State tax evasion
• Failure to file tax returns
• Filing a false return
