The rules for perjury also apply when a person has made a statement under penalty of perjury, even if the person has not been sworn or affirmed as a witness before an appropriate official. An example of this is the United States' income tax return, which, by law, must be signed as true and correct under penalty of perjury (see 26 U.S.C. § 6065). Federal tax law provides criminal penalties of up to three years in prison for violation of the tax return perjury statute. See: 26 U.S.C. § 7206(1)

Remember how much power the Clinton had, how their minions will face jail time in order to cover their scandals?

this is in fact an issue where folks should be held accountable
and the IRS should be hammered.
I think I’ll use that same philosophy when it comes tax time. I’ll just tell the IRS when they request I pay taxes that I’m just going to plead the fifth. Do you think they’ll let me off?
Since Lerner won’t answer questions, Taylor asked that she be excused from appearing, saying that would “have no purpose other than to embarrass or burden her.” There was no immediate word whether the committee will grant her request.
