Why is IRS Criminal Investigation involved in financial crimes?
Since the inception of IRS Criminal Investigation, special agents have been trained to follow the money. No matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of IRS Criminal Investigation. IRS special agents conduct full, in-depth financial investigations which are intensely revealing about income sources, business transactions and business associates. Such complex financial investigations often lead right to the door of a major tax evader, a drug kingpin, a fraudulent telemarketer, or corrupt conduct by healthcare executives, return preparers, or even the local grocery store operator.
