Overview

Tax fraud is intentionally underreporting or failing to report income.

You can report an individual or business to us if you think they’re not complying with tax laws.

For example, they might be:

• Claiming to be a resident of another state while residing in California
• Making false claims for refunds
• A suspicious tax preparer
• Closing and reopening a business to evade taxes
• Falsifying business records

For your own safety, do not:

• Try to find out more about the fraud
• Let anyone know you’re reporting it
• Encourage anyone to commit a crime so you can get more information
