ST. LOUIS, MO, March 03, 2011
Here is a checklist of things you should do:Call a tax attorney that concentrates on a full time basis in the IRS Tax Whistleblower Program. Call 1-877-404-1040. Do not call attorneys that practice in other areas of the law (qui tam, personal injury). Remember you get what you pay for. You want an attorney not a law firm. The law firm does not practice before the IRS or before the court.
Legally gather documents that would help support your case.
Identify what are the important documents and where the important information can be found to support your case. Where are the computer records stored? Has anything been destroyed? What bank is the taxpayer affiliated.
Identify the tax issue and tax years. Remember under the IRS Tax Whistleblower Program it does not have to be tax fraud. Any under payment of tax over $2,000,000 qualifies for the program.
Identify all potential witnesses to the case and to the extent that you are able obtain contact information (phone number and addresses). It is important to the extent you are able, that you identify both favorable and unfavorable witnesses.
Be ready to discuss with your tax whistleblower attorney all matters concerning whether the information you have is privileged, stolen or that somehow you could have participated in the taxpayer's underpayment of tax.
The tax Whistleblower Attorney will identify what laws were violated and provide a legal analysis to the IRS. Your job is to identify (i) the taxpayer, (ii) tax years, and (iii) the facts for which your attorney can apply to the law.
It is not a matter of what you think or what you know or what you believe it is a matter of having specific and credible facts.
