Abstract

Your client files an income tax return correctly stating her tax liability, but she does not pay the reported liability. Usually, this is a civil matter, implicating the failure-to-pay penalty of section 665l(a)(2). In aggravated circumstances, it can become criminal under either section 7201 or section 7203.
