Federal Tax and Form Crimes

For the most effective use of this blog and the links, readers must have the background and skills to test the information by further research and analysis before reaching any conclusion as to its usefulness and correctness in actual situations. Legal advice is always individual, considering the unique facts and circumstances of each client and shaping legal advice and strategies for the particular client. That simply cannot happen on this blog.
