IRS Tax Help News: IRS Employee Caught Owing $14,912 in Back Taxes & Penalties

This latest news goes to show how no one is safe from IRS scrutiny-not even its own employees.

One IRS employee was found guilty of deliberately under-reporting her actual income by neglecting to disclose the money she made from selling her used clothing and other merchandise on eBay.

According to WebCPA, “She had unreported income of $15,320 in 2004 and $21,062 in 2005. Between 2000 and 2005, she was involved in over 7,000 eBay transactions.”

I’ve always cautioned taxpayers that it is erroneous to believe that the IRS won’t come after you because of “A, B, or C.” While it is true that taxpayers who make over $100,000 a year are twice as likely to get audited, it does not mean that you are safe if you make less and are cheating on your taxes.

With the current struggling economy and the government desperate for revenue, the IRS is more relentless than ever to catch and penalize tax cheats. Don’t risk your financial future–the money you “save” by cheating on your taxes is not worth what you will end up owing in back taxes and interest–not to mention possible jail time.
