False Filing Of A Tax Returns Lawyers in Michigan
A person can be charged with false filing of a tax return when their return doesn’t accurately reflect their tax situation. For example, reporting less money than you actually made will be considered filing a false tax return.
While filing a false tax return is typically an attempt to defraud the government, many times the false return is simply a result of negligence on part of the taxpayer.

Penalties for Filing False Tax Returns
Whether you intentionally filed false tax returns or the false returns were simply filed out of negligence will determine what sort of penalties will be assessed.
If your returns were filed out of negligence, there will normally be a 5% unpaid tax fee in addition to “failure to pay” fees.
However, if you intentionally tried to defraud the government, your penalties will be severe.
You could be ordered to pay 75% of the tax unpaid due to the fraud, including personal fines of up to $250,000 and even a prison term.

Reviews From Our Clients
Bryan Smith
Barton was amazing and I could not have had the positive outcome without his guidance. His team is prompt and great to work with. He even called while out of the country on vacation, which I feel shows he went above and beyond what someone might expect from their attorney. Experienced and cares! I would highly recommend Barton!
Leng T.
Very professional. I came and spoke to Barton Morris about my situation and my case. I asked him if he was willing to help me. He asked about the details and my background and history. He give me a positive confidence he can help me and my odds. His price is reasonable. He’s not one of those hole in the wall lawyers who treat you as a number. You are a human being with a personal life. You treats you as a valued client no matter how big or small the case.
Kelly M.
I had Mike Norman as my lawyer for a case. I just wanted to come on here and thank him for doing his best for me. I am grateful during this stressful time. I’ve used Barton Morris as a lawyer about 11 years ago and he was awesome which is why we came back. I do recommend!
Thomas Smale
Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to navigating the complicated nature of cannabis businesses in Michigan. I met with Barton where he answered all my questions about the pre-qualification application, and was prompt in answering subsequent questions through email after the meeting was completed. I certainly plan to continue utilize Barton’s knowledge in the future.
