irs criminal tax: Dealing with an IRS 8300 Exam in Stamford, Connecticut
- 06/08/13 07:03 AM
The focus of our practice is civil and criminal taxpayer representation, and whether in Stamford, Connecticut or elsewhere, the IRS is the best agency for collecting and handling financial information, and has therefore increased its focus on 8300 Exams in Stamford, Connecticut and elsewhere. When we represent taxpayers before the IRS or the Department of Justice Tax Division, we often have to explain the administrative powers the IRS examiners or criminal investigators have. IRC § 6050I requires the filing of a form to report cash receipts in excess of $10,000 by any business. It also makes it a violation for taxpayers … (0 comments)

- 06/08/13 05:38 AM
The focus of our practice is civil and criminal taxpayer representation, and whether in Stamford, Connecticut or elsewhere, the IRS has increased its focus on Bank Secrecy Act issues, and in particular has created three new types of agent: The Abusive Tax Avoidance Transaction (“ATAT”) Agent – IRM 4.32 The Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) Examiner – IRM 4.26.6 The Special Enforcement Program (“SEP”) Agent – IRM 4.16.1.3 When we represent taxpayers before the IRS or the Department of Justice Tax Division, we are usually focused on income, expenses and tax loss.

irs criminal tax: IRS Criminal Tax Prosecutions in Stamford, Connecticut: IRS Releases 2011 criminal Tax Enforcement data!
- 03/27/12 01:02 PM

irs criminal tax: IRS Exam Accountant Privilege Stamford CT: Why, if there are fraud issues with your tax return, your accountant may be your worst enemy during an IRS audit in Stamford, CT!
- 02/25/12 10:08 AM
We frequently represent taxpayers before the IRS during routine audits in Stamford, Connecticut, as do many CPAs or EAs. Having your CPA or EA handle your audit may be a costly mistake if there are potential tax fraud issues involved with the return. Accountants, defined as anyone allowed to practice before the IRS (CPAs and EAs) enjoy a privileged relationship with their clients in routine tax matters. Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 7525 creates a confidential relationship for accountants similar to that of attorneys with their tax clients in civil tax matters. Unlike the attorney-client privilege, the 7525 accountant-client privilege ceases … (2 comments)

- 09/15/11 01:37 PM
We represent many taxpayers involved in criminal tax situations, including voluntary disclosure of foreign bank accounts. Today the IRS released a notice that it continues to make strong progress in combating international tax evasion, with new details announced today showing the recently completed offshore voluntary disclosure initiative (OVDI) program pushed the total number of voluntary disclosures up to 30,000 since 2009.

The IRS also announced today it has collected $2.2 billion so far from people who participated in the 2009 program, reflecting closures of about … (0 comments)
irs criminal tax: Hartford, CT Foreign Bank Account: IRS OVDI Deadline Extended to Sept. 9, 2011
- 08/28/11 09:08 AM
The 2011 OVDI was announced on Feb. 8, 2011, and follows the 2009 Offshore Disclosure Program (OVDP). The 2011 initiative offers clear benefits to encourage taxpayers to come forward rather than risk detection by the IRS. Taxpayers hiding assets offshore who do not come forward will face far higher penalties along with potential criminal charges. Please contact me if you would like assistance in dealing with a foreign bank account. This 2011 program may represent your final opportunity to come forward with the current reduced penalty regime. If you have any questions regarding the IRS OVDI program in Hartford, Connecticut or any other … (0 comments)

- 07/09/11 02:40 AM
<!--StartFragment--> We frequently represent tax return preparers who find themselves the target of an IRS criminal investigation. These issues often start when the IRS picks up on issues with a client or two, who without any other excuse point the finger at the tax preparer to deflect the blame from themselves. Internal Revenue Code Section 7206 makes it a crime for anyone to assist a taxpayer in the preparation and/or filing of a false tax return. Internal Revenue Code Section 7201 for tax evasion is also an oft used weapon by the IRS, as defendants don’t have to be evading … (0 comments)

<!--StartFragment--> We frequently represent taxpayers involved in IRS exams and IRS criminal tax cases in Hartford, Connecticut and elsewhere.
