STATEMENT OF TAX DIVISION ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL EILEEN J. O'CONNOR
REGARDING THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE'S SETTLEMENT OFFER
FOR USERS OF THE "SON OF BOSS" TAX SHELTER:

“The Department of Justice is working tirelessly to help the IRS obtain the details of potentially abusive tax shelters and the identities of their promoters and users. Honest taxpayers deserve to know that people who violate the tax laws will be caught, required to pay what they owe and subjected to appropriate penalties.”
