Tax Gap
IRS Can Improve Efforts to Address Tax Evasion by Networks of Businesses and Related Entities
Description:... A taxpayer can control a group of related entities -- such as trusts, corp., or partnerships -- in a network. These networks can serve a variety of legitimate business purposes, but they also can be used in complex tax evasion schemes that are difficult for the IRS to identify. This report: (1) describes what IRS knows about network tax evasion and how well IRS's traditional enforcement programs address it; and (2) assesses IRS's progress in addressing network tax evasion and opportunities, if any, for making further progress. The auditor interviewed relevant experts and agency officials in developing criteria needed to perform the assessment. Includes recommend. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.
