LaToya next?

Wanting to reduce (or avoid) tax liability based on actual expenses is not a crime - it’s practically a national past time.

However, purposefully inflating expenses to do so would fall under the “evasion” category - that’s clearly a crime.

Always wondered what became of Marty Feldman.

Think the problem for him is that he’s owed taxes and had federal tax liens filed against him for multiple years. Read an article that from like 2001-2010 every year he didn’t pay his taxes in a timely manner. Then when he submitted returns for the years in question he had very very little tax liability. So I think he was already under the microscope.
