Tax Fraud Defense Attorneys in Bowling Green, Kentucky
John Caudill Attorney at Law knows that when any of our fellow Kentucky residents are the subject of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or Kentucky Department of Revenue (DOR) investigation, their lives are placed on hold until the matter is resolved.
Unfortunately, going it alone is not the best approach. The sheer complexity of these cases, and the resources available to the state and federal government, can leave their bank accounts frozen, and their assets on the way to being liquidated before they get to defend the allegations of tax fraud, evasion, avoidance, or other white-collar crime allegations.
Our Bowling Green and Owensboro tax fraud defense lawyer understands the severity of an IRS investigation and is committed to helping our clients avoid the penalties associated with these charges — including potential jail time.
If you are facing tax fraud charges, you must act quickly to protect yourself from intimidation by the IRS. The federal government is not simply going to take your word for what they deem as tax fraud as being a mistake. We can help. You have rights and are entitled to an aggressive defense strategy that is customized to meet your needs. Let’s get started.
What is Tax Fraud?
The Uniform Civil Penalty Act punishes tax evasion where a taxpayer purposefully avoids paying or underpaying taxes on their income, properties, funds, or any other type of wealth or taxable good and service.
Essentially, tax fraud occurs when an individual or business entity willfully and intentionally falsifies information on a tax return to limit the amount of tax liability.
For individuals, this may include:
- Deliberately failed to report all income received.
- Failing to pay estimated taxes or keep records.
- Failure to file tax returns.
- Falsely claiming tax deductions or tax credits
- Fraud and tax evasion.
- Prepared and filed a false return.
- Willfully concealing offshore bank accounts.
For businesses, this may include:
- Fail to report and pay any withheld payroll taxes.
- Fail to withhold federal income tax or FICA taxes from employee paychecks.
- Hire an outside payroll service that does not turn over funds to the IRS.
- Knowingly failing to file payroll tax reports.
- Purposely fail to report some or all cash payments made to employees.

What are the Penalties in Tax Fraud Cases?
In Kentucky, the penalties for tax fraud vary depending on how much is owed, for how much time, and to which agency — the IRS or the DOR.
Common penalties may include jail time, restitution, fines and penalties, and future financial oversight.
White collar crimes like tax fraud, credit card fraud, insider trading, and fraud against the government are harshly punished and are often pursued by federal prosecutors called U.S. Attorneys. If your tax fraud charges are being pursued at a federal level, you will need an experienced attorney to help you navigate your complex legal journey to achieve the best outcome.
