Tax Evasion
Most Americans are required to file a tax report every year with the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS. Many find that they owe a large portion of their income to the state and federal government. Tax evasion occurs when individuals fail to accurately calculate the amount they owe, or fail to pay the full amount of their taxes. When the government finds out about tax evasion, they often come down on suspected offenders with the full force of the law.

The Consequences of Tax Evasion
It often takes state and federal authorities years to identify tax evasion. By that time, the total amount of back taxes may reach into the millions of dollars. In addition to seeking the full amount due, the government may seek other penalties, including:
- Prison sentences
- Hefty fines
- Audits of business and personal finances
