Know Your Rights

Defending against tax evasion charges involves challenging the prosecution's assertion of "willful" intent to violate tax laws. Potential defenses may include, but are not limited to, the following:

Common Defenses:

Honest Mistake: If the accused made an honest mistake, misunderstood taxable income definitions, or committed a genuine math error, and there's no evidence of intent to defraud, this could lead to acquittal.
Statute of Limitations: If the IRS exceeds the typical 3-year period to file charges after submitting a tax return, the charges may be dismissed.
Lack of Knowledge of the Law: Demonstrating a lack of knowledge about specific tax rules could argue against intentional violation claims, asserting actions were in good faith.
Already Paid Sufficient Taxes: If the total tax liability was met despite underreported income, it could help counter evasion claims.
