San Antonio Tax Evasion Attorney

Facing Charges for Tax Evasion?

Tax evasion is a serious criminal offense defined as any effort to illegally avoid paying required state or federal taxes. This can include failing to report income in order to avoid taxation, blatantly failing to pay taxes, or using other illegal means to avoid paying taxes. Both individuals and businesses alike can perform tax evasion, each facing serious penalties if they are convicted. Depending upon the severity of the crime, tax evasion can be charged in state or federal court.

Penalties for a tax evasion conviction vary, but can include large fines, jail time or even prison time if it is a very severe case. If you have been charged or accused of committing tax evasion you should contact a San Antonio white collar crimes lawyer immediately for the legal representation necessary to defending your case.

Tax evasion can result from many different types of illegal activities such a failing to report all income, using false receipts, claiming non-applicable deductions, hiding assets, money laundering and using another person's Social Security number. There are other cases however, in which a person or business might accidentally file a tax report incorrectly, or may not fully understand how deductions work, resulting in what seems to be tax evasion, but is in fact a simple mistake. In the event that this happens, the IRS is generally lenient and may work with those charged to find a different solution that doesn't result in jail time or unnecessarily large fines on top of the taxes.
