Report tax fraud

Tax fraud is an umbrella term for the actions taken to avoid paying owed taxes. Some examples include:

  • Not filing or paying taxes.
  • Not reporting or underreporting all taxable income.
  • Making false claims related to deductions and expenses.
  • Preparing a false return with intent, also known as tax preparer fraud.
  • Paying an employee in cash to avoid paying taxes, also known as employment tax fraud.

Making an unintentional error on a tax return isn’t fraud.

You can tell the Department of Revenue about suspected tax fraud by completing the tax fraud report form. We’ll take appropriate action based on the information you provide.
