Tax Fraud - Dodging Your Taxes

Failing to pay your fair share of taxes isn't clever, it's a crime that could land you in hot water once the IRS catches up with you.

Some people try to make a living bragging to others about how they don't file or pay federal income taxes. And for a small fee they're only all too happy to share their "secrets" with you. These swindler promoters frequently use advertisements and email spam to convey their messages of saving you big bucks on your federal taxes.

If you should chose to buy into this con and purchase their accompanying how-to material, and use their methods, you'll ultimately find yourself out way more money than you would have been just paying your original federal tax bill. In addition to the money spent to acquire these fake tax saving secrets, you'll also find yourself paying penalties and facing potential civil and criminal tax consequences.

It's not a tax plan, it's a con job

According to information on the IRS website (ww.irs.gov), they indicate several con artists have been convicted on criminal tax charges and more than a dozen injunctions to halt this tax con have been issued.

All U.S. citizens are required to pay taxes. And although the tax law is complex and there are legitimate deductions to be had, it's a waste of time to dream of not having to pay your fair share under the law. The dishonest promoters of this type of con persuade customers to pay them to file an incorrect form for an invalid refund that doesn't exist for the majority of tax payers. The form is number 2439, Notice to shareholder of Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains. Filing this form is a huge waste of money and those who file successive claims using this form can be subject to a frivolous return penalty of $500. This deduction claim is almost always rejected. So if that happens to you, we suggest going ahead and paying all the taxes you owe. It's the one sure way to keep you out of trouble and possible jail time for tax evasion.

There's no magic tax loophole

Take a moment to think about what we just told you about this con. If such a valid loophole truly existed...don't you think people would have been all over it? And the government would have shut it down by now? As great as an idea it would be to have a loophole, someone has to pay some taxes or our entire government and way of life would come to a screeching halt. Whether or not you think that should happen, it still doesn't get you out of paying the taxes you owe according to U.S. tax law. If you still cling to the possibility that you could get out of paying your taxes, we suggest continuing to research this subject until you realize that taxes are inevitable. And though we all know deep down that we wish we didn't have to pay so much in federal tax, I bet you'd rather part with the money now than go to jail for any length of time.
