Being accused of misrepresenting taxable income to the Internal Revenue Service is a serious matter. In Florida and all other states, such situations may be aggressively prosecuted if formal charges are filed in federal court. However, there are plenty of situations where honest mistakes have resulted in apparent misrepresentations. As with other criminal accusations, anyone charged with tax evasion is presumed innocent unless proved otherwise in court.
Willfully attempting to defeat or evade a tax may be punishable as a felony, if a conviction is handed down in court. Such convictions often carry severe penalties, such as time in prison and, possibly, more than a quarter million dollars in fines. In most situations, those facing such charges are able to secure more positive outcomes when they enlist the assistance of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
