In our blog, we’ve spent a fair amount of time discussing tax and financial scandals which have made major headlines. For instance, we’ve discussed the bankruptcies and tax problems faced by prominent celebrities. We’ve also examined insider trading cases. These kinds of stories are very useful for many reasons. For one, these stories show how […]
As we’ve shown repeatedly in our blog posts, money has a way of bending moral principles. You can take an otherwise upstanding, law-abiding person, and once money is involved, things seem to change. We’ve seen this with insider trading, for instance. Martha Stewart, once a highly regarded public figure, succumbed to the pull of money […]
As we’ve previously discussed, there’s an important distinction between tax avoidance and tax fraud or tax evasion. Tax avoidance is the use of lawful means to lower one’s tax liability. Tax evasion is the willful falsification of information for the purpose of reducing one’s tax burden. Failing to pay one’s tax burden may also constitute evasion. Tax evasion is illegal […]
The U.S. Tax Code is a very curious thing. It contains more words than the Bible, a lot more. In fact, it has enough rules to make even the sharpest mind a bit puzzled from time to time. When we think of Tax Code violations, we often picture an ambitious employee seeking to maximize a […]
So far, we’ve devoted a couple of blog posts to look at the celebrity financial difficulties. We’ve looked at celebrity bankruptcies and, more generally, looked at celebrity tax troubles. Here, we’d like to continue this review. Accordingly, in this post, we’re going to look at a few public figures who’ve gotten themselves into really big […]
Alphonse Capone – typically known as “Al” Capone – was a notorious gangster who, at the height of his power, ran and commanded one of the most profitable criminal organizations in history. Born in Brooklyn, New York in 1899 to parents of Italian descent, Capone began his criminal career early and by his mid-20s he had gained […]

However, with the right legal team, you will find that both taxes and lawyer meetings can be less complicated than you think. Once you have scheduled your tax attorney meeting, make sure you get the […]
Fortunately, your chances of the IRS charging you with tax evasion or criminal tax evasion are minimal. The IRS initiates criminal tax evasion investigations against less than 2% of all the taxpayers in America. Out of that number, only around 20% face fines or criminal charges. However, it’s important to be aware of the activities […]
I had a wonderful experience with Mr. Callahan during my initial phone call. He fully understood my issues and provided me with helpful information on how to proceed with my tax issue. I am very appreciative of his time and expertise!

Mackay, you are a godsend. Thank you dearly for taking the time to go through in great detail options for our situation. You were patient, thorough and extremely helpful even after you knew we were unable at this time to pay for services. I wish other companies would follow your level of customer service.
I was in despair for years and now finally I have hope.
God bless,
Tiffanie
“I had a BIG problem with the IRS and wasn’t making any progress with them, even with my accountant’s help. Then I heard about Mackay, Caswell & Callahan. I’m here to tell you that ALL the good things about those tax attorneys are true. Joe Callahan got a $30,000 tax bill reduced to $200! Thanks Joe, I still can’t believe you pulled that off! Christmas came early this year!”

“Joe Callahan helped me out of a big mess. I also went to several other “tax specialists” and got no good answers. Very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend him for complex tax issues. I could have saved a lot of time and money had I used his office earlier on.”

“Mr. Callahan was able to resolve my tax issue quickly. He was up to speed on all recent tax code changes and successfully resolved my issue based on this information. His retainer was very reasonable and I am highly satisfied with the outcome of his hard work.”
