Tax evasion is the fraudulent, intentional avoidance of paying all or part of the required income taxes for an individual or a firm. Evasion may involve underreporting earnings, exaggerating deductions and exemptions, and participating in questionable tax shelters. Tax evasion is a serious criminal offense which, if proven in court, can result in federal penalties and fines. Simply failing to file taxes is a misdemeanor, but if a person does not file taxes for a number of years, this behavior can be used as evidence of a broader plan to avoid payment. Intentionally neglecting to file and pay taxes is a felony.
