IRS AUDIT - has anyone been audited by the IRS for fraud??

Well not fraud, but I have been "negotiating" with the IRS for a long time and I do know a few things. First, like anything potentially criminal, always have somebody else speak for you. For any type of fraud they have to prove you KNEW you were intentionally misleading them. This can be very difficult. BUT they way they will get you is if you change your story from one interview to the next. SO, if you are not sure it is best to just say you do not recall rather than try to force a memory. Or the files were not kept, or were lost. I am not saying go and lose things, that is just more trouble. But I am saying if you are not 100% sure what was in there and why, then just say I do not recall for sure. If you try to recreate memories of things you'll change answers even slightly from time to time and you will appear guilty. Good luck. Tell the truth if you remember it, but don't try to force anything.

Are they legitmate charges to your clients? Were the clients billed?\n\nRemember there is lag time , look at your statements\nwhen you make a purchase, sometimes it doesnt show that it was processed until the next day, for several ones.\n\nOne of them is that the merchant forgot to batch out.\n\nDo you even know your only company policy?\n\nWhat didyou say to him or her when she submitted the receipts to your accountant?\n\nOr are you an employee looking for a way to get her fired or in trouble?\n\nWhy doesn't your company audit these transactions?\n\nWhy did your company accept the charges?

That is called creative accounting. Think Enron, only on a very small scale :o)\n\nSure, others are doing it and maybe not getting caught. It all depends on your ethics, or lack of it. If you do it, just pray hard that IRS not audit your tax returns.

Not a good idea.  One of the many IRS criteria for an audit is the amount of refund received

If he with held taxes on you or you were or should have been pd an a 1099. You need to go to IRS.GOV or you can call 1 800 829 1040. Tell them what is going on. They will tell you what you need to do. There might even be some money in it for you. What he is doing is wrong. You might want to find out what you have to do and go to him and say you can file or I'm going to turn you in. He might go ahead and do what is right. What he is doing is against the LAW. If you don't want him to know it is you that is fine. You don't have to tell. You are doing the right thing by filling. If he were to get audited in the future which is likely he can say that he pd you and they will want to know why you didn't file. Good luck with this!!

Have you tried contacting your Senetor, or Congressmen?  How about the IRS?  They don't really like it when they get phone calls, or letters a million times a week because of some loser that won't pay for his child.  I was lucky and my Senetor got involved rather fast.  He was happy to help and it was free.

First, in cases OTHER than fraud, the IRS has three years from receipt of your return to question the return.  If you have no basis for reopening these old returns, DON'T.  You'll just create significant problems for yourself.\n\nFix the '03, and '04 returns, and ask the IRS to waive the penalties and interest when you pay the tax owed.  An accountant would be able to help you sort out your tax liability and help you negotiate with the IRS.\n\nGood luck.

Best thing to do is to contact a CPA or Tax Attorney.  Many of the "Tax Deals" of the 80 were legit.  The ones that were audited and closed down by the IRS as abusive, have already pretty much run their course.  When speaking with your advisor, make sure you bring every piece of paper associated with the deal from the application to all subsequent letters, forms, annual statements, LP Tax returns etc.  It is possible that your deal was a good one and there may be a market for your interest in the program.\n\nGrampy

Use your phone book.\nGo to the IRS Call the number and follow the directions and you can request copys of your tax returns. \nOr just call and ask for a operator and talk to a live person.\nThis is the easy way you could go to certain places and fill out the forms but that will take time to go there and do it.\nYou can also do this online but I would not suggest this. \nIf for some reason you got hacked the last thing you would want is for them to have this info

There is no telling.  The referral has to be reviewed and a determination made whether or not to pursue the matter.  If it is pursued, the case is assigned to a manager, who in turn assigns it to an agent.  The agent then does a behind-the-scenes investigation regarding the person.  Finally, the person will be contacted (unless a decision was made somewhere along the line not to pursue the matter.).  Each of these steps can be delayed by workload, lack of personnel, etc.  There is no statute of limitations on an unfiled tax return, so there is generally no rush in these cases.\n\n**Regarding follow-up**\nSure it will eventually catch up with them.  The IRS can do up to six years' of tax returns within one audit when a nonfiler is involved, so by the time that the audit begins the person/business may be audited for five or six years at once.
