What Is Form 3949-A?
If you suspect that an individual is not fulfilling his or her tax obligations (for example he or she is evading taxes), you have a right to report this to the IRS. You do so by filling in Form 3949-A Information Referral and sending it to the IRS in Fresno, California.
Alternatively, if you wish you may send a letter with the relevant information.
Don't let your situation get out of control. The Law Offices of Darrin T. Mish, P.A. can get you the tax relief you need. Call us today at (813) 295-7648 and tell us your story.
