Chapter 801 IRS (3)

"IRS?"

When Kari heard Yang Cheng's first words after meeting, he was one head and two big.

He swallowed unconsciously, and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Yang, you are really making things difficult for me. You dare not go to the IRS if you have the guts to check it? It's okay to find anything. At most, I will pay taxes honestly in the future. The IRS There is nothing I can do about it, but once nothing is found out, my F~B~I career can be declared over."

Yang Cheng spread his hands helplessly, "Cary, you misunderstood, how could I ask you to investigate the IRS? Besides, the special commissioner also works, so there is no need to make things difficult for him."

Well, after saying this, he himself felt ashamed. If the IRS’s sudden visit had nothing to do with the mastermind behind the scenes, he would 300% not believe it. It’s too coincidental, no matter how inconceivable, there must be something. This is Yang Cheng's most valuable experience.

After a pause, he said in a low voice, "I just want you to help me find out whether the special investigators from the IRS came to the door this time under orders? Or did they act on their own? For ~B~I, it’s not a big deal, is it?”

Invisibly flattered, but unfortunately Cary was very shrewd and didn't take the bait at all, still with a bitter expression on his face, "Mr. Yang, maybe you don't know, the IRS is the most feared government department in the United States. F~B~I is still ruthless, and ordinary people turn pale when they talk about this department, let alone I don’t have these vital organs.”

Yang Cheng glanced at Kari in surprise, isn't that the opposite? Ordinary people honestly pay taxes and at most keep a respectful distance from the IRS, not too scared, but you are a little guilty.

All of the above were in his mind, and he wanted to know what Cary was going to say.

"Unlike you people of country Z, who have almost no connection with the tax department, personal income tax is almost withheld, and the tax department is actually an invisible existence.

However, in the United States, the tax department is always with you, sticking to your body like snot. It is not an exaggeration to say that in the United States, drug trafficking also has to pay taxes!

There is a statement in the IRS tax reporting indicators, even if it is illegal income, tax returns must be filed, and it also tells the drug dealers how to pay taxes based on the actual situation of the United States, that is, regardless of what you do, it should be handed over to Lao Tzu Not a penny less tax money. "

Yang Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes, he really thinks I'm a new immigrant, I definitely have more dealings with the IRS every year than your F~B~I.

But he also knew that Cary was right, no matter what illegal things you did, you must pay taxes. The only basis for the IRS to judge whether you are a good person is whether you pay taxes.

Of course, generally speaking, criminals will not take the initiative to declare, but if they know that they are going to be arrested, the first thing they think of is to pay taxes for drug trafficking, because if they do not pay taxes, not only will they be convicted of a criminal offense, but they will also be convicted. To be charged with tax evasion, if you are convicted of tax evasion, then I'm sorry, if you get out of prison, you may really have nothing.

In fact, if it is just ordinary illegal income and you declare it, the IRS will only collect the money, then shut down, and will not report you.

Because the United States is divided into three powers, people only collect taxes and will not take the initiative to provide your crimes to JC. Unless JC comes to investigate, the IRS is obliged to cooperate.

In addition to such extremes as drug trafficking, for example, illegal workers in the United States also have to pay taxes. For example, some people who go to the United States may get a tourist visa and cannot work, but what if they work illegally? This is illegal income. It is best to declare this matter and pay taxes.

In the United States, drug trafficking is a non-violent crime, which is not considered a serious crime. Working illegally is a trivial matter, but tax evasion is a felony. Similarly, you don’t have to worry about being implicated by the IRS to the Immigration Service.

F~B~I can challenge the president of the United States, but the IRS can ignore the matter when it is found here.

What's interesting is that when Donald ascends the throne in the future, the Congress once asked him to provide his tax bills during the election. This matter has been fooled, and Congress has nothing to do with him, because the tax bill is with the IRS, and no one can do anything if the IRS does not publish it.

Therefore, boldly paying taxes is the guarantee of the IRS. If you don't pay taxes, the consequences will be very serious.

Even if it is money laundering, the tax money must be paid in full. You can owe money to anyone, but you cannot owe money to the IRS.

Yang Cheng slandered, "Cary, there are no outsiders here. Tell the truth, have you been caught by the IRS for some reason? It doesn't matter. I can provide you with the top financial experts to help you deal with the problem, as well as Wall Street experts. Gold medal lawyers, believe me, these people who have dealt with the IRS all the year round will help you come up with a complete way to minimize your guilt."

He didn't dare to say exempt, that's impossible.

Originally, he was teasing like a joke, but unexpectedly, Kari's face turned extremely pale, and a cold sweat broke out. Looking at it like this, Yang Cheng knew that he was wrong, and he was right.

Kari looked around instinctively, and he was sure he was in his office. Then he smiled wryly, "I did make a mistake before, and I was blacklisted by the IRS, but I corrected it in time, and delayed the work of the IRS. It was only with the help of my college classmates that I was prevented from being publicly investigated, otherwise I would definitely lose my job."

Yang Cheng was stunned and smiled secretly. This is nothing more than normal. The middle class in the United States has the ability to hire private accountants to help sort out their income and declare taxes. How can ordinary people have spare money to hire accountants? You fill it out by yourself, honestly and honestly. Of course, the IRS doesn’t interfere with how you fill it out, but for the old beauty who has always been bad at math, it will kill you. If you underreport it, then Bad luck.

For example, in the case of Cary, Yang Cheng estimates that in all likelihood, he did not understand his own tax returns before he officially joined F~B~I, which is considered unlucky. Millions of people file their taxes at the same time every year, and the IRS Just caught him out, this kind of shit is not lucky for most people.

So in the United States, if you have a friend who can declare taxes in your circle of friends, that would be a blessing. Among Americans, accountants and lawyers are the most popular, no matter where they are, just like the classic movie "Shawshank's In "Redemption", the main character becomes the warden's treasure because he knows how to file taxes and is an accountant, and the warden will never let him go.

This kind of voluntary reporting will also make people feel lucky. Can you report less or not? Of course, as long as you are lucky enough to not be found out, of course you can do anything.

In fact, the IRS is not God, they are not omnipotent, even though they have more than 100,000 employees, but facing a population of hundreds of millions, how can they investigate those who underreport taxes? There is no other way but spot checks, because there are too many tax returns, and the IRS has no way to check them one by one, so they can only take spot checks.

But the IRS is not stupid. It likes to spot-check the middle class the most, because the rich have special accountants and lawyers, and even if they evade taxes, it is difficult to find out. Besides, the rich will not take risks to evade taxes.

Only the middle-class people, whether or not to evade taxes has a great impact on their lives. If they don’t pay taxes, they may step into the ranks of the rich. If they pay taxes, they may have half a foot out of the ranks of the middle class.

In addition, the Chinese are more fond of tax evasion, or in other words, Asians are a little fond of tax evasion when they come to the United States, because they don’t have this life experience, so what can they do with tax evasion, and most of them have a little money, with an annual income of more than 100,000 US dollars , The IRS also likes to spot check this type of people very much.

There is also an exaggeration. Many barbershops in Chinese restaurants like to accept cash, and often use cash to evade taxes. After all, the amount of cash received and recorded in the ledger is written by themselves. Even many landlords in slums also like to accept cash. He even gave a discount on the rent in order to collect cash.

How does the IRS respond to this tax evasion method? It's very simple. Hire a temporary worker, eat in your restaurant for a year, count the number of people every day, and then calculate how much you should earn in a year. Of course, this is still polite, and some directly use the turnover of similar shops nearby. Calculate your income and so on.

In addition to focusing on key groups, the IRS also offers incentives for reporting. After the reported tax evasion is verified, the whistleblower can get a reward of 30% of the tax amount. The upper limit is as high as 20 million US dollars. As an industry, it is said that the overall market of this industry is as high as billions of dollars. Sometimes the IRS is too busy, and it will also outsource the investigation work to private individuals. The proportion is small, but it also greatly alleviates the problem of urgent manpower. I have to say that Lao Mei is quite good at making money.

Dumbfounded, Kongkong clicked on Kali, "Forget it, I'd better ask someone else to help me with this matter."

Cary smiled apologetically, didn't know what he thought of, gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, if I just ask about it, I can still do it. After all, it's been more than 20 years, and the IRS probably won't remember my past. mistake."

Yang Cheng shrugged, "Then I'll trouble you. I'm mainly worried that the IRS came to investigate under the orders of someone. You should understand what I mean."

Kari lowered his face and nodded with a serious expression, "I know, I will drag my classmate to find out the situation. If he is really instructed by others, what is Mr. Yang going to do?"

Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment, "I haven't thought about it yet, but I definitely can't let the other party do what they want, such as reporting with their real names? Make this public, as you know, the IRS doesn't have a good reputation among the public. It is conceivable that the IRS will be under pressure from public opinion when it is exposed."

Cary was thoughtful, "But in this way, you will completely offend the IRS."

Yang Cheng sighed, "Yeah, this is where I hesitated. If it wasn't forced, who would want to be targeted by such a vital department? Let's inquire first, maybe it's really the IRS's own What about action?"
