NOTES1. Department policy generally limits Section 7207 prosecutions to cases involving the falsification of documents other than U.S. tax returns. In some very limited instances, however, the Tax Division will authorize 7207 charges where a false tax return is involved. See Tax Division Directive No. 75 in Section 3.00, supra and Section 16.03, Policy Limiting The Use Of § 7207, supra.
2. A separate count should be charged for each false document.
