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.
