Fraudulent tax practices are considered tax evasion and are committed by failing to file tax returns or by filing false tax returns. Tax evasion is a crime because when people do not file their taxes or they falsify the forms it is decreasing the revenue available that is used for federal and state funding. Considered a white-collar crime, tax evasion is a serious offense and can be very difficult to handle when dealing with IRS.

The IRS has identified tax evasion as early as 1919. The Criminal Investigation unit of the IRS is in charge of enforcing tax laws and investigating any tax evasions that occur. When an investigation has been launched to identify if tax evasion has occurred, there must be proof that is normally shown in documents, records, accounts, and files of finances. When the IRS is investigating it can be a very difficult and stressful times, but every taxpayer has legal rights.
