I don’t have enough money to pay off all of my back taxes, so I am considering not filing at all; will the IRS charge me with tax evasion?

If you do not have enough assets to pay your back takes, it is a mistake to think that you can escape the IRS and avoid charges of tax evasion. If you owe back taxes, it may take some time for the IRS to find you, but rest assured that they will find you eventually. 

This is especially true if you have received a letter mentioning a Notice of Federal Lien. If you have received this notice, then you need to settle your back taxes right away. If you are contacted by an IRS agent from the Criminal Investigation Division, then you may be in serious trouble, and you will need the help of a Maryland tax attorney to avoid doing time in jail.  

In fact there are various ways an attorney can help you resolve the issue of back taxes. A Maryland tax attorney can negotiate with the IRS to make an Offer-in-Compromise, as well as come up with deductions that you haven’t discovered, or find discrepancies with the IRS calculations. A Maryland tax attorney may be able to extend the payment process and come up with a viable resolution. By coming up with a payment plan, you may be able to make monthly installments that will satisfy the demands of the IRS. 

If you are facing a personal financial crisis such as back taxes in Maryland, don’t exacerbate the problem by seeking the services of a so-called bankruptcy “sweatshop” or bankruptcy mill.
