Yes. Agents of the IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division investigate criminal federal income tax cases. There are criminal penalties for tax evasion, willful failure to collect and pay over taxes, failure to file a return, fraud and false statements, aiding and abetting and withholding violations. Penalties range from fines to prison sentences.
