Tax fraud is committed when persons do
not file tax forms or file false tax returns.
When tax fraud is committed it penalizes
honest taxpayers by not allowing the amount
of revenue that is needed for federal and
state funding. Every individual is responsible
for filing a tax return and paying the correct
amount of taxes. The Internal Revenue Service
(IRS) is in charge of investigating tax
fraud and enforcing tax laws.
When tax fraud is committed, the IRS will
penalize those individuals that have knowingly
violated tax laws. Tax fraud is a serious
offense because it affects the tax administration
and the American economy. Penalties for
tax fraud include imprisonment and/or fines.
