Tax Day is Tuesday, IRS Commits to Fight Tax Fraud

With tax filing deadlines just two days away on April 17, prosecutors commit to the investigation of anyone who violates federal tax laws.

It's April 15, but this year Tax Day is still two days away and with the April 17 tax filing deadline rapidly approaching, the United States Attorney’s Office and the Internal Revenue Service have strengthened their commitment to the investigation and prosecution of anyone who violates federal tax laws.

“Nobody enjoys paying taxes, but everyone has to pay their fair share. As Tax Day approaches, we urge the residents of our community to comply with their tax obligations or be prepared to face the consequences,” said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates.          

Although tax prosecutions tend to be highlighted during April every year, the United States Attorney’s Office and the Internal Revenue Service investigate and charge tax fraud throughout the year, not just during the time of year that many refer to as “tax season.”
