False Tax Returns: Why CPAs and Their Clients Go to Prison 2 Credits
Select your learning mode
It is a crime to knowingly prepare a false tax return.
Many return preparers are not aware of the severity of civil and criminal penalties for a false tax return. Not only can a CPA lose the ability to represent their client to the IRS, but the CPA can lose their CPA license and potentially go to prison. Every tax year, the IRS publishes various stories about how the return preparers and their clients go to prison for willfully submitting false tax returns.
This CPE course will discuss the ways that the IRS investigates bad return preparers.
You will also understand the difference between simple mistakes versus criminal acts. The course also helps return preparers know what to do if they are being investigated for a false tax return, including if their client is under criminal investigation.
