IRS Tax Evasion – Wesley Snipes Can’t Dodge Taxes, Neither Can You

Invincible? The IRS extends special treatment to no one. Famous movie star Wesley Snipes was charged with Failure to File Tax Returns from 1999 through 2004. Did he get away with it? No!

Stay Above Water: The best way to avoid debt with the IRS is to file your taxes every year.But if you didn’t do this, you need to contact the IRS and negotiate a payment solution. This is not easy. The longer you’ve gone without paying your taxes the more complex the process becomes. And if you don’t act quickly the IRS may place a Tax Levy or Lien on you without notice. It’s a good idea to hire a Tax Professional to help you with this process – But Beware…

Avoid the Scams: Wesley Snipe’s defense is that he was the victim of crooked advisers. He was given bad advice and acted on it. Many others have been made victims of so-called tax “professionals” that were really scammers in disguise. Make sure to do your research and hire only legitimate tax professionals. Be very careful of what advice you follow and only hire professionals that you can trust.
