Wesley Snipes goes on trial today, facing charges of tax evasion, failing to file tax returns, and filing a false claim for an income tax refund. The TaxProf Blog has a post with links to the various media coverage of the trial; Joe Kristan also has a report on Snipes’ use of the 861 defense (and its likely failure).
As there are developments I’ll continue to post on United States v. Snipes.
