What's the chances of getting caught if I lie on my taxes?
<|assistant|>
The chances of getting caught if you lie on your taxes vary depending on the nature of the lie and the complexity of the IRS investigation process. Generally, the chances of getting caught increase when you make more complicated and deliberate lies. Professional tax preparers, financial advisors and accountants are often more likely to catch irregularities because of their training and experience, while it may take the IRS some time to detect certain discrepancies depending on the complexity of the issue. The IRS also has access to a number of automated programs designed to detect any discrepancies in reported information. In some cases, offenders may even face criminal charges, so it is generally not worth taking the chance of getting caught.
