IRS cracking down on payroll tax fraud?

September 25, 2008

While I don't know if this is a trend, there seems to be a flurry of payroll tax fraud prosectutions. A Massachussets wonan was sentenced this week to 6 1/2 years in prison for evading payroll taxes by running cash payments through temporary employment agencies. Now The Tax Lawyer's Blog reports on a guilty plea in a $181 million payroll tax fraud in an employee leasing business. That's a lot of money; the defendant is likely to go away for quite awhile.
