With IRS enforcement on the rise - more people than ever will need expert and qualified IRS tax relief. If you've put yourself in a situation for which you could be prosecuted on tax charges, there's something you should know: Your chances of convictions are high.
There are not many situations scarier than being in tax trouble. Whether you're worried about the tax man knocking at the door or staring down at the pages of a tax evasion indictment, there are few legal situations worse in American life.
Getting in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service can be a life-altering experience. That is an indisputable fact. Even more troubling, data suggests you're more likely to be indicted and convicted on tax charges today than you were five years ago.
In fact, available data shows the Obama administration is just as aggressive in tax enforcement as the Bush administration was.
Using data from the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Justice, the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University reviewed IRS referral and DOJ conviction numbers for tax cases in fiscal-year 2009 -- Obama's first year in office.
What TRAC found should be eyebrow-lifting to those who suspected the Obama administration might go easier on tax cheats.
Tax case convictions in fiscal-year 2009 were on par with those in fiscal-year 2008, the Bush administration's last year in office, and in fact there were 10 percent more convictions in fiscal-year 2009 than there were just five years ago.
The most frequently reported charges were "fraud and false statements" and "attempt to evade or defeat tax."
The takeaway for you, the taxpayer, should be obvious: Despite the alterations in policy and action that often accompany a new government, the Obama administration has chosen not to chain what has been an increasingly aggressive IRS over the previous five years. Those of you with lingering back taxes should not hesitate to seek out quick and reliable tax relief from a tax attorney or Certified Tax Resolution Specialist.
What's more, the odds are great that tomorrow's enforcement will become even more aggressive.
The primary reason: money.
For fiscal-year 2010, Congress increased the IRS's enforcement budget to a record $5.5 billion -- meaning more agents for more audits, more investigations, and ultimately more of a reason to obtain IRS tax relief.
Of course, that extra money in the enforcement budget comes on top of the IRS's recent agreements with credit card companies and Swiss banks to open up the account information for U.S. taxpayers who might be stashing cash in offshore bank accounts.
So why bet against the government when the stakes include your freedom and livelihood?
There are plenty of examples of people who did bet against the government. They've lost.
Just last month, a Florida man received a 51-month prison sentence for tax evasion, while across the country in California a bookkeeper received a 33-month sentence for wire fraud and evasion
Scared? Now might be a good time to call me for some life saving IRS tax relief.
