Penalties for Common Tax Violations that The Law Offices of Michele Finizio can help with
Tax crimes can be categorized as either felonies or misdemeanors. A felony is a serious federal violation. If you are found guilty of a felony, you may be convicted and end up spending significant time in jail. You may also have to pay a hefty fine. Misdemeanors are serious crimes. However, they do not carry the same amount of jail time or fines as felonies do. You could still, however, spend some time in jail or under probation. The fines are also still quite substantial for misdemeanors.
