Trends in State and Federal Criminal Tax Enforcement

Event Description

Deadline to Register: November 12, 2019

Tax enforcement efforts at the federal level are continually underway across the country, including in Minnesota. Despite a trend of reduction in enforcement of federal tax crimes since 2010, earlier this year the DOJ’s tax division issued a statement that criminal tax cases, especially for filing false returns and deliberately evading paying taxes due, continue to be an enforcement priority. At the State level, the Department of Revenue regularly receives notice of potential state tax fraud and evasion through its Tax Evasion and Tax Fraud Tip Line. The DoR investigates these tips and regularly refers cases to county prosecutors to pursue criminal charges. Understanding of trends in enforcement and the types of cases that get investigated and referred for prosecution can help attorneys advise their clients and prevent them from falling afoul of criminal tax laws.
