Owe IRS Back Taxes, Better Tell the Truth, How IRS can tell if your Lying, Former IRS Agent
As a former agent, there are a couple of acid tests to see if the client or the taxpayer is lying.
Here are just three that I would use today.
First, the IRS pulls up an Accurint report.
It is an online search engine that anyone can use that gives them 10 years worth of information on anybody. In the age of technology, assets are so easy to find.
The IRS will find any information they have to. They are a giant.
The second thing I would do is to make sure financial statements, bank statements and 1040’s all have a common cord through them, this is to say, they make sense when put together.
Does the income on the 1040 match up with the bank statements and the current financial statements?
Lastly, I would check credit cards to see if the purchases match up with everything else.
Here is a bonus way to tell you maybe lying.
IRS will check your credit history and find out if you have given a financial statement to anybody within the last three years, that is any creditor or anyone you are up tempting to borrow money from.
The IRS will compare that financial statement with the financial statement you’ve given other lendors.
Have any questions. call former IRS agents and managers to learn more about the system in the process. Always tell the truth!
There are many techniques used, there are just a few.
