When the Internal Revenue Service issues a False Tax Return Penalty, it is usually due to the filing of false tax returns, informational returns, FBARs, etc. is because this of penalty typically involves issues such as:
- Income Tax Fraud
- Income Tax Evasion
- Willfulness
- Reckless Disregard
- Intentional Misrepresentation
- Intentional Omission
Unlike non-willful counties or negligence penalties which can be bad but or not typically fatal — the penalties associated with making false statements, tax fraud, willful omission of income or foreign accounts/assets can be pretty brutal.
These types of fraudulent penalties can reach 100% value of foreign accounts, and several years in prison.
