Eileen O'Connor Engage Quotations

Federal law provides serious penalties for filing false tax forms. People who engage in tax fraud schemes can expect to pay back taxes, plus interest and penalties, and may face criminal prosecution for evading taxes.

The Department of Justice is committed to using all available law enforcement tools to recover tax revenue, punish tax offenders, and to prevent future misconduct. People who promote, facilitate, or engage in plans or schemes to avoid reporting their income or another person's income are risking penalties and, where appropriate, criminal prosecution.
