Eileen O'Connor Filing Quotations

Federal law provides serious penalties for filing false tax forms. People who engage in tax fraud schemes can expect to pay back taxes, plus interest and penalties, and may face criminal prosecution for evading taxes.

The Justice Department is working vigorously to stop the preparation and filing of the false or fraudulent returns that unfairly shift the tax burden to honest American taxpayers. People who hire others to prepare their returns should review their returns carefully to make sure that they are true, correct, and complete.
