Tax Evasion Crimes Lawyer in Knoxville


If you are being investigated for Federal Income Tax Crimes, you need to be represented by an attorney as early as possible in the investigation.  The IRS has the ability and the power to perform audits and criminal tax investigations.  A civil tax audit will occur if there is suspicion that you failed to file tax returns or failed to pay the correct amount of tax for estate taxes, payroll tax/withholding of employee taxes and income taxes.  


A civil audit may also begin because your tax return was chosen at random for review or because you were reported to the IRS by a disgruntled ex-employee, business competitor or ex-spouse.  Tax audits and criminal tax evasion cases can arise from failure to report all income or claiming false deductions. Criminal tax cases can also result from tax shelters or other tax issues that the IRS considers an abuse, tax shelter or a scam to evade taxes.


26 USC § 7201 - ATTEMPT TO EVADE OR DEFEAT TAX


Any person who willfully attempts in any manner to evade or defeat any tax imposed by this title or the payment thereof shall, in addition to other penalties provided by law, be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $100,000 ($500,000 in the case of a corporation), or imprisoned not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution.

Attempt to evade or defeat tax
