The possibility of elimination of deportation should be cleared. I am learning about criminal tax with <a href="http://www.criminalbostonlawyer.com/" rel="nofollow">Liam scully</a> and this post is quite helpful for me.Jason stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519969502186924526.post-40775268014818661292013-03-10T08:19:41.079-05:002013-03-10T08:19:41.079-05:00Deportable aggravated felonies under 8 U.S.C. § 11...Deportable aggravated felonies under 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(43)(M) are:<br /><br />(M) an offense that— <br />(i) involves fraud or deceit in which the loss to the victim or victims exceeds $10,000; or <br />(ii) is described in section 7201 of title 26 (relating to tax evasion) in which the revenue loss to the Government exceeds $10,000.<br /><br />Now, there is some nuance there, but I think the basic rule is clear. First, the green card holder must have committed a felony of the type described (that is not the same as a conviction for the felony, but the provision is usually invoked only after a conviction); and (2) the felony must involve a loss of more than $10,000.<br /><br />Jack TownsendJack Townsendhttp://www.tjtaxlaw.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519969502186924526.post-70356343010443696692013-03-09T14:08:08.243-06:002013-03-09T14:08:08.243-06:00@Klmj, this is more complex than that.

I am not a lawyer, but take the case of Purpura:<br />http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/03/salvatore_purpura_owner_of_joj.html<br /><br />According to court filings, Purpura pleaded guilty to two counts of making false statements on his income tax returns for incorrectly stating on his 1990 and 1991 returns that he didn’t have any financial interest in bank accounts overseas.<br />He had bank accounts in Italy at that time, but it was determined that the misstatements on his tax returns didn’t result in any loss to the U.S. government, records show.<br /><br />So basically, he got charged with filing a false tax return, and got a fine for only $4,000 for ZERO tax loss.<br />17 years later, the judge allowed him to withdraw his guilty plea.<br />Still, immigration officials are now citing those convictions as evidence of “moral turpitude” in seeking to boot Purpura out of the country.<br /><br />So the real question is how likely is it for minnow immigrants with a small amount of taxes owed, to get charged for filing a false tax return for not checking the checkbox on the 1040?<br />A lot of lawyers are saying that OVDI is the only safe solution for immigrants with green cards in this situation.<br />This IS extortion. People with small amounts of taxes owed should be able to pay what they owe without being extorted of 27.5% of the max amount of their home accounts... and $40K of lawyer's fees.<br />This is a disgrace to America. They don't act any better than the worse corrupt governments in the world. But you know what, this doesn't matter anymore to me. The stress and depression this has caused has cost me my family and health. I will be going home soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519969502186924526.post-34190411326838130742013-03-09T10:49:13.659-06:002013-03-09T10:49:13.659-06:00Jack- does this mean that if the tax loss is less ...Jack- does this mean that if the tax loss is less than $10K the possibility of deportation is eliminated. This should be a lot of relief for minnows who are concerned about the impact on green card status Klmjnoreply@blogger.com
