Given the fact Eric Green focuses on civil and criminal tax representation, there are some clear mistakes he and his partners see make almost daily. In this episode Eric walks you through the three biggest mistakes they see entrepreneurs make and how you (and your clients) can avoid these!
In this Episode, Eric sits down with IRS Special Agent Maria Papageorgiou and discusses the crime of structuring, what it is and why so many taxpayers end up committing this crime without realizing it. Many accountants advise their clients that when it comes to cash, it is the client’s money and they can do what they want with it (so long as it was reported). Unfortunately that is far from the truth. Hear directly from Maria why the IRS is so intent on focusing on this violation, and what you and your clients need to know.
