 When an IRS civil case turns criminal, the consequences can be severe. Learn the red flags, triggers, and mistakes that cause the IRS to escalate an audit into a criminal investigation. 

I am a CPA, a Circular 230 Professional, entitled to represent taxpayers in any of the 50 states in representation matters before the IRS – inclusive of tax notice letters, audits, appeals, statutory notice of deficiency issues et al.  Over 10 million notices a year are issued by the IRS. A large number of taxpayers receive IRS Audit Notices.  A quarter of a million taxpayers a year decide to pursue Offers in Compromise, and 25,000 taxpayers a year proceed to US Tax Court because they have received a Statutory Notice of Deficiency.  99.2% of them don’t make it – for a good reason – their case is settled or dismissed before it reaches the Court.  That’s why pro se representation, representing yourself with a measure of professional assistance, such as a CPA to prepare exhibits, handle analysis of complex issues, recommend negotiation strategies, write memos of facts, explanations of case history and so forth is such a valuable combination of strategies.   I have background in auditing and I’m a researcher and a writer.  I’ve written a book as well. You can buy it on Amazon, and other platforms.

The IRS Tax Debt Survival Guide is a practical, plain-English roadmap for taxpayers facing audits, notices, back taxes, liens, levies, or U.S. Tax Court proceedings. Written by a tax professional and CPA, this guide explains how the IRS really operates, what your rights are under the Internal Revenue Code, and how to respond strategically—without panic or misinformation. Readers will learn how IRS notices work, when a statutory notice of deficiency creates a defense, how payment plans and Offers in Compromise are evaluated, and what to expect if a case escalates to collection. The IRS Tax Debt Survival Guide provides clear explanations, real-world insight, and step-by-step guidance to help you make informed decisions and protect yourself throughout the IRS process.
