Penalties with the Department of Revenue
Penalties For Specific Tax Offenses Change Effective January 1, 2000
The 1999 Florida Legislature made several changes to the penalties imposed for tax evasion and theft. The following is a summary of these changes:
Any person who knowingly and with a willful intent to evade any tax imposed by Chapter 212, F.S., fails to file six consecutive returns commits a third degree felony.
Any person who makes a false or fraudulent return with a willful intent to evade payment of any tax or fee imposed by Chapter 212, F.S., is liable for a specific penalty of 100 percent of the tax or fee, and is also subject to the following criminal penalties:
1. If total unreported taxes or fees are less than $300, the first offense is a second degree misdemeanor, the second offense is a first degree misdemeanor, and the third and following offenses are third degree felonies.
2. If total unreported taxes or fees are $300 or more, but less than $20,000, the offense is a third degree felony.
If total unreported taxes or fees are $20,000 or more, but less than $100,000, the offense is a second degree felony.
If total unreported taxes or fees are $100,000 or more, the offense is a first degree felony.
Any person subject to Chapter 212, F.S., including transportation companies, agencies, or other firms that conduct their business by truck, rail, water, aircraft, or otherwise, who violates specific statutory record keeping requirements commits a third degree felony.
This penalty applies to a second or subsequent violation in which the person intentionally destroys required records, with an intent to evade the payment or deprive the state of any tax revenues.
Any agent who accepts money from a taxpayer that is due to the Department of Revenue, and who willfully fails to remit such payment, commits a third degree felony. Also, any agent who has a taxpayer’s records that are required to be maintained, and who intentionally destroys those records with the intent of depriving the state of tax revenues, commits a third degree felony.

As a Former IRS Agent, I can tell you most people do not understand that the IRS just wants to close there case and the only way to get attention from the taxpayer is to send out a tax wage garnishment, a bank levy,or a federal tax lien.

The Internal Revenue Service will either;
1. Put your case in hardship or uncollectible,

3. recommend you file a Offer in Compromise.

IRS Total Collection
The collection of more than $4.4 billion so far from the two previous international programs has made the IRS excited in the FBAR- Offshore Program.
$4.4 Billion is just the tip of the iceberg.
Continuation of the OVDP – FBAR Program
The Third Offshore Program
The third offshore program comes as the IRS continues working on a wide range of international tax issues and follows ongoing efforts with the Justice Department to pursue criminal prosecution of international tax evasion.
Commissioner Statement:
“Our focus on offshore tax evasion continues to produce strong, substantial results for the nation’s taxpayers,” said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. “We have billions of dollars in hand from our previous efforts, and we have more people wanting to come in and get right with the government. This new program makes good sense for taxpayers still hiding assets overseas and for the nation’s tax system.”
The third and latest FBAR – Offshore Program
The FBAR – program is similar to the 2011 program in many ways, but with a few key differences.
Unlike last year, there is no set deadline for people to apply. However, the terms of the program could change at any time going forward. For example, the IRS may increase penalties in the program for all or some taxpayers or defined classes of taxpayers – or decide to end the program entirely at any point.
“As we’ve said all along, people need to come in and get right with us before we find you,” Shulman said. “We are following more leads and the risk for people who do not come in continues to increase.”
Tax Stats:
In all, the IRS has seen 33,000 voluntary disclosures from the 2009 and 2011 offshore initiatives. Since the 2011 program closed last September, hundreds of taxpayers have come forward to make voluntary disclosures.
Those taxpayers who have come in since the 2011 program closed last year will be able to be treated under the provisions of the new OVDP program.
The overall penalty structure for the new program is the same for 2011, except for taxpayers in the highest penalty category.
The New Program Penalty Structure
For the new program, the penalty framework requires individuals to pay a penalty of 27.5 percent of the highest aggregate balance in foreign bank accounts/entities or value of foreign assets during the eight full tax years prior to the disclosure.
This is up from 25 percent in the 2011 program.
Some taxpayers will be eligible for 5 or 12.5 percent penalties; these remain the same in the new program as in 2011.
All taxpayers or participants must file all original and amended tax returns and include payment for back-taxes and interest for up to eight years as well as paying accuracy-related and/or delinquency penalties.
Participants face a 27.5 percent penalty, but taxpayers in limited situations can qualify for a 5 percent penalty.
Smaller offshore accounts will face a 12.5 percent penalty.
Taxpayers whose offshore accounts or assets did not surpass $75,000 in any calendar year covered by the new OVDP will qualify for this lower rate.
As under the prior programs, taxpayers who feel that the penalty is disproportionate may opt instead to be examined.
