With tax season well underway, United States citizens have less and less time to submit their Tax Return to the IRS. This makes many of them feel the stress much stronger and they can make mistakes that they usually would not make. It is essential to know all the rules that the IRS has so that we not only get the Tax Refund as soon as possible, but also so that we do not have problems with our Tax Return.
When sending the tax return we must always be very careful. Any mistake can make the IRS consider our activity suspicious or illegal. So if we are very careful, the IRS will not think that we are breaking the law. It is true that it is not necessary to break the law for the Internal Revenue Service to think so, but we can make mistakes that make it look that way.
Knowing these rules we will have fewer problems to be able to make our IRS return without worries. So pay attention if you want to avoid problems of all kinds and get the Tax Refund in your pockets as soon as possible.
What does the IRS consider illegal or suspicious activities?
There is a list of suspicious activities that the IRS is looking for at all times within Tax Returns. These activities need not be intentional or unintentional, as in most cases the taxpayer will not be guilty or have engaged in such illegal activity. Let’s look at the list:

- Unreported income
- Failure to pay compulsory taxes
- Bribes
- False exemptions or deductions
- Failure to comply with attorney laws
- Undeclared withholding
- Any false document or modified official document
Therefore, not only should we not not do any of these offenses, but we should make sure that our tax return does not contain anything that might look suspicious or illegal to the IRS.
And not only that, but we must report anyone else doing any of the above activities. This is very easy to do and is a duty on the part of all United States citizens.
How do I report suspicious fiscal activity?
If we think that someone may be doing any suspicious or illegal attorney activity, we should report it as soon as possible. We can use Form 3949-A through the Internet.
This is not the only way to make this type of reports, as we can also use form 221. Any help to the IRS could be rewarded, as long as we correctly point out the person or company committing tax fraud. Of course, it must be taken into account that it must be demonstrated that the attorney fraud is done with intent.
Another thing we can report to the IRS is any theft of a Social Security number. Remember that this document is personal and non-transferable, so no one other than the person who owns the number should use it in any way.
