The amount of money saved through practice is too little to effect the government but it is considered as income tax fraud nonetheless. There are still others who report medical expenses they paid for but were reimbursed.
The IRS is aware that income tax fraud goes on but these deductions are quite hard to check so many times they go unnoticed. However, this does not mean a person committing income tax fraud can get away. The IRS has set a system which allows people to report income tax fraud.
If you suspect a person or a company of committing income tax fraud, you can report them to the IRS by using Form 3949-A. This form is available on the IRS website and you can just print it and fill it out. Thereafter, you would have to post it to the IRS office. If you do not want to use the form, you can also send a letter to the IRS with the following details:
- Name and address of the person or business you are reporting
- Social Security number of the person or business
- A description of the tax violation
- How you became aware of the tax fraud
- How many years the person or business has been indulging in the tax fraud
- Your name, telephone number and address
Giving your name and address is not mandatory but it will definitely help the IRS. In addition, you can be sure that your identity would be kept confidential.
Sometimes, it is quite possible that you become a victim of income tax fraud because someone used your Social Security number fraudulently. If you become aware of this, you should immediately notify the IRS.
