This webinar will provide an overview of both civil and criminal tax Frâud. Frâud may be underreporting income, excessive business deductions, concealing assets – both domestic and international assets, structuring, misclassification of employees, failure to file correct 941s or Trust Fund issues. We will discuss the implications of the civil frâud penalty which may be as high as 75% of the tax understatement. You will learn how to represent your client during audits where fraud is present, in an effort to keep the audit civil without referral to the Department of Justice for indictment. As part of this discussion, we will provide you with the tools necessary to try and negotiate the lowest possible penalty.
