What Is Tax Evasion?

Income tax evasion, also sometimes referred to as income tax fraud, is when someone knowingly attempts to defraud the IRS and/or fails to file an income tax return.

When this happens, the IRS can bring civil or criminal charges against the individual.

The majority of tax evasion charges are prosecuted as felonies and, in addition to a prison sentence, you may face hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and the seizure of your assets.

Common situations that may result in a tax evasion investigation include:

  • Underreporting taxable income for several years
  • Claiming fictitious or inaccurate deductions
  • Understatement of income
  • Failure to file a tax return
  • Filing false returns
  • Dealing in cash

To secure a conviction, the IRS must prove that you intended to defraud the government and that the issue wasn’t merely a mistake.

At The Law Offices of Barton Morris, we believe in structuring an aggressive defense, and your income tax evasion attorney will thoroughly research your situation, helping you make sound legal decisions that protect your financial future and your freedom.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Just sitting here on my balcony. A bit chilly but sunny and beautiful. I am ever so grateful to have 100% freedom. Wasn’t sure I would ever meet this day. Hiring you(and your team) was the best decision I have ever made. You are a true master of your trade. As you sit with your beautiful family on Thanksgiving know that this year I am truly thankful of my freedom and the choice to hire Barton Morris. Thanks again. I will never forget what you have done for me.
