Federal tax fraud and forgury. Both would be federal felonies and you would definatly be going to federal prison no if ands or buts. Federal crimes are the worst to get! these are the mothers of all felonies and anything from a second degree and up you are basically garenteed jail time so imagine a federal charge. Unless you are extremely lucky or you have a very nice judge you will be serving time and possibly a lengthy one too. Oh and by the way federal judges arent usually nice at all so dont hold your breath cause they didnt get to that chair being nice if you get where im coming from

∙ 11y agoThe IRS is a federal agency and federal agencies don't mess around with crimes of this nature. Although it may seem trivial you can get some jail time for this especially if it was on a tax return and you were cheating the government out of money. The person who's signature was forged can also bring lawsuit and receive compensatory and punitive damages amounting to a number decided by a jury. Statute of limitations is very broad in this area, meaning a lawsuit can be brought years after the forgery took place.

What is the difference of taxes and penalties?
Taxes are not penalties...taxes are the percentage of our income we pay the IRS to help fund state and federal programs. Penalties are the amount of money added to the taxes which are owed for things like Failure to File, Failure to Pay, Under-reporting your income on a federal tax return, etc. If these things occur outside the guidelines set forth by the US Tax Code there are penalties (like fines for not returning a book to the library on time). Please do not confuse the two. Although sometimes taxes feel like penalties they are clearly two different things.
