- 02/20/19 04:37 PM
I represent taxpayers in New Haven and the rest of Connecticut who have civil and criminal tax issues, and have recently seen an uptick in those folks coming to us who have not filed tax returns, some for many years. In fact, the non-filer issue is a major priority for the IRS, who have stated publicly that they have identified more than 7 Million taxpayers who have failed to file returns, and that the IRS plans to roll-out an initiative to target these tax scofflaws. In addition, it is worth noting that the willful failure to file a tax return is a … (0 comments)

- 03/08/18 06:39 PM
Over 8,800 Identities Stolen from the U.S. Army, Alabama State Agencies and Georgia Businesses We focus our practice on tax matters, and I in particular on civil and criminal tax controversy issues. I can assure those of you who have never had to go through the pain of unwinding your identity being stolen that saying its unpleasant is putting it mildly.

criminal tax: Criminal Tax in New Haven, CT: What is Tax Evasion?
- 08/25/17 03:35 AM
When it comes to tax crimes in New Haven, Connecticut, New York city or elsewhere, Tax Evasion is always considered the big kahuna of tax crimes. So what is "Tax Evasion"? We handle civil IRS cases and criminal tax cases all over the United States, and therefore see a lot of what taxpayers do and don't do that later get them into trouble. One thing I do notice is the confusion about what "Tax Evasion" actually is, and that most practitioners do not realize there are two forms of tax evasion: Evasion of Liability and Evasion of Collection. More and more, the … (0 comments)

criminal tax: Criminal IRS Tax Referrals in Stamford, CT and New York, NY
- 11/27/13 09:58 PM
The focus of our practice is civil and criminal taxpayer representation, and see many taxpayers in Stamford, Connecticut referred to the IRS Criminal Investigation division because of shoddy bookkeeping. It is critical that taxpayers maintain good records or face serious tax bills, or even criminal tax prosecution. Many IRS criminal tax cases begin as routine civil IRS examinations and, when the examiner is confronted with either a lack of records or bookkeeping records that cannot be easily reconciled to the federal IRS tax return, thoughts of a referral to the criminal investigation division begin to grow. The goals for any taxpayer … (0 comments)

criminal tax: Criminal Tax in Stamford CT: An Introduction to the crime of Tax Evasion and defending taxpayers charged with it in Stamford, Connecticut
- 06/02/13 12:40 PM
We frequently represent taxpayers and accountants in criminal tax matters, and whether in Stamford, Connecticut or elsewhere, the Department of Justice and IRS have both historically regarded Tax Evasion as the most important criminal tax statute. It is also the criminal tax statute with the greatest impact for deterrence. Under IRC § 7201, Tax Evasion has three elements: 1. Willfulness 2. The existence of a tax deficiency 3. An affirmative act constituting evasion or an attempted evasion of tax The definition of willfulness is the “violation of a known legal duty.” The willfulness test is a subjective one, and what I … (0 comments)

- 01/23/13 12:43 AM
The focus of our practice is civil and criminal taxpayer representation, and whether in Stamford, Connecticut or elsewhere, one of the most power tools the IRS has at its disposal to gather taxpayer information is its power to issue an administrative Summons. The IRS generally uses its administrative summons power to gather information – both written records and testimony – when it is seeking tax returns or conducting a tax investigation.

criminal tax: IRS Criminal Tax Stamford CT: What causes an IRS audit to be referred for criminal prosecution in Stamford, CT and elsewhere?
- 02/25/12 10:29 AM
We frequently represent taxpayers before the IRS during routine audits in Stamford, Connecticut, as well as criminal tax investigations and eggshell audits (civil audits where tax fraud exists but the IRS has not found it yet). I am often asked what causes an IRS examiner to send a case to the criminal investigation division (“CI”)? The Internal Revenue Manual (“IRM”) states that an IRS tax auditor should refer the case for criminal investigation when there are “firm indications of fraud.” Great: so what does that mean? There are a number of items that may raise an examiner’s suspicion of tax fraud: … (2 comments)

- 12/07/11 12:59 PM

Bradley, 644 F.3d 1213 (11th Cir. 2011), the Eleventh Circuit held, inter alia, that venue for failure to file an FBAR properly lies in any district that houses a local IRS office, so long as the chosen venue does not create a constitutional hardship for the defendant. As discussed above, the Bradleys and their company, Bio–Med Plus, Inc., engaged in multiple schemes to defraud the Florida and California Medicaid programs … (0 comments)

- 12/07/11 12:50 PM
We represent taxpayers in IRS Criminal tax investigations frequently, and often deal with foreign bank account issues in Stamford, Connecticut as well as elsewhere in New England. In In re Grand Jury Investigation M.H. v.
