Abstract
The major cause of acute taxitis is the mental and physical turmoil arising from accusations by the Revenue Service that false and fraudulent returns have been filed with intent to evade taxes. The three most common means by which tax evasion is discovered are: (1) routine audit-spot checks and surveys; (2) tips from informers in hopes of receiving sizeable rewards,or by jealous neighbors or disgruntled employees; (3) newspaper publicity about marriages, trips, home purchases, robberies, real estate and business transactions.
