3. A discrepancy between reported tax information and actual tax obligations as determined by tax authorities

In Brazil, tax errors are taken seriously by the Receita Federal (Federal Tax Authority), and correcting them promptly through an amended return (Declaração Retificadora) is important to avoid penalties. In the USA, the IRS actively pursues tax errors through audits and examinations. Both countries allow for amendments and corrections, but unintentional errors are treated differently from deliberate tax evasion.
