Full service guide →Frequently Asked Questions: IRS Criminal Defense in Pennsylvania
Two IRS special agents visited my home in Pennsylvania. What should I do?+
Do not speak to them under any circumstances. Politely decline to answer questions without an attorney present, take their business cards, and call us immediately. Anything you say — even seemingly innocent statements — can be used against you in a criminal tax prosecution.
What is the difference between a civil IRS audit and a criminal investigation in PA?+
A civil audit results in additional taxes, penalties, and interest. A criminal investigation can result in imprisonment (up to 5 years for tax evasion), substantial fines, and permanent reputational damage. IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) has a conviction rate exceeding 90%. Early representation is critical.
Can a Pennsylvania tax problem be resolved civilly instead of criminally?+
In some cases, yes. Voluntary disclosure before an investigation becomes active, proactive cooperation, and negotiation with the Department of Justice Tax Division can result in civil resolution rather than criminal prosecution. Timing is everything — contact us before the IRS contacts you.
What is the IRS Voluntary Disclosure Program for PA taxpayers?+
The IRS Voluntary Disclosure Program (VDP) allows taxpayers to come forward before an investigation begins, in exchange for reduced or eliminated criminal exposure. Once an investigation is active, the VDP is no longer available. We assess eligibility during a confidential consultation.
How long do IRS criminal investigations typically take in Pennsylvania?+
IRS Criminal Investigation cases typically take 1–3 years from initial investigation to indictment. The investigation phase is the most critical time to have experienced legal counsel — most favorable outcomes are achieved before charges are ever filed.
