Brager Tax Law Group

Fraud
In most tax audits the IRS is only interested in collecting the taxes owed, plus interest along with a few penalties. Perhaps the IRS might impose a negligence penalty or a late filing penalty. However, if during the tax audit the IRS suspects that you have committed tax fraud they can impose a civil tax fraud penalty. The civil tax fraud penalty is equal to 75% of the tax owed, plus interest on the penalty. Worse yet the IRS tax auditor might ask the tax fraud referral specialist to look at your case to see if it should be sent to the IRS Criminal Investigation unit for criminal tax prosecution. The IRS tax fraud referral specialist is usually not a tax lawyer, however, he has experience in tax fraud cases, and will seek the advice of the IRS' own tax fraud lawyers for help if it seems necessary.

Money Laundering
Remember that by the time a special agent shows up the IRS has already done a good deal of investigation. The IRS special agent has information which has led the IRS to believe that there is a possible violation of tax, money laundering or bank secrecy laws. The reason that people often speak with IRS special agents before they obtain the services of a criminal tax defense lawyer is several-fold. One reason is the misguided belief that they can simply explain what happened, offer to pay the tax debt, and the special agents will be happy, and go away. Not likely! Most taxpayers can’t come to grips with the idea that what they thought was a little fudging on their tax return is actually a tax crime punishable by years in jail. After all there was a reason. Some of those reasons our Los Angeles, CA criminal tax lawyers have heard include...

Estate Planning
“In 2014 I brought the Brager firm a particularly complex and expensive IRS tax matter, which had gone on for over 5 years. I am not an attorney but I do a lot of work with attorneys and I have some considerable legal experience (I work as an expert witness in Federal courts). I don't have much tax knowledge and thus have to rely on tax attorneys. My matter had been handled by another attorney who was recommended to me by my estate planning attorney. All this first tax guy did was to make the matter worse. And it turns out that this first guy doesn't keep time records, doesn't carry malpractice insurance, and is basically lazy and incompetent. The old tax attorney's billing practice is that when he needs money he asks for another payment but he doesn't have keep time records to show how he earned the last payment. But, I digress. By the time I fired the old attorney and brought the case to the Brager firm, the IRS matter (dealing with patent royalties) had become a can of worms. Dennis Brager and Richard Stack reviewed all of the thousands of pages of documentation and came up to speed. They assessed and discussed the matter with me and offered professional and accurate insights and advise into the situation which allowed me to make informed decisions as to how to progress. They even identified several aspects of the matter, as well as additional law arguments, which the original tax attorney completely missed. I was very happy with the work they performed and feel that the money I spent with the Brager firm was well earned. They also accounted for every cent of the billings. They are highly qualified, competent and very skilled in the nuances of tax law and dealing with the IRS. I completely trust Messrs. Brager and Stack and will certainly use them in the future to advise me and handle any tax matters with the IRS.”
Trusts
The problems with offshore bank accounts are not limited to one Swiss bank. In July 2008 the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released a report which accused LGT Bank of Liechtenstein with promoting tax evasion through the use of fake charitable trusts, foreign shell companies, captive trustees and straw man settlors, anonymous transfers, multiple transfers among companies, disguised business trips, and the use of foreign credit cards to draw on accounts; all to hide the existence of offshore bank and financial accounts.

Bankruptcy
A "tax bankruptcy" may be a good way to get rid of old tax liabilities without paying a cent. As our tax litigation attorneys have discussed, certain tax debts including income taxes can be discharged in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. However, if you have significant assets, you can expect those assets to be sold and turned over to the IRS or other creditors if you filed for bankruptcy. For those with assets and a legitimate dispute as to whether or not they actually owe the tax asserted by the IRS or a state taxing agency, bankruptcy is an opportunity to have a judge decide whether or not those debts are truly owed, without having to pay the tax debt up front.
Foreclosure
While acting as a Special United States Attorney, he argued cases before the United States District Court involving IRS summons enforcement, judicial foreclosures, suits to reduce federal income tax assessments to judgment, refunds claims, and judicial levies.
