Experienced Legal Advocacy

Tax litigation can involve any number of criminal offenses. Tax evasion is one of the most common crimes brought into question by IRS. Tax evasion, on the most basic level, involves willfully failing to pay your taxes. For instance, if an individual or business conceals income of profits in order to avoid paying taxes on them, the IRS may consider a tax evasion charge. This crime is a felony, punishable by five years in federal prison and fines of $100,000.

There is a multitude of situations that may be considered tax controversies, including:

  • Negotiations with the IRS
  • Property seizures because of tax issues
  • Unfiled tax returns
  • IRS appeals
  • Installment agreements
  • Back taxes

Not all tax litigation is criminal, though. Sometimes, people need an attorney to help them settle a civil tax case instead. Sometimes the IRS targets individuals because an investigator has overzealously assumed that an individual is guilty of a tax-related offense. If you were unable to pay your taxes for a period time because of medical problems, you may find yourself involved in a civil tax litigation case. If you need help, a lawyer from Okabe & Haushalter may be able to negotiate with the IRS to get you a reasonable payment installation plan, offer of compromise or interest and penalty abatement.
