Investigations By The IRS

The branch of the IRS that investigates possible violations of the Internal Revenue Service Code is the Criminal Investigations (CI) unit. During an investigation, CI agents gather information by means of cooperation with the taxpayer or by summons. Agents look for false tax returns or unfiled tax returns, claims of false deductions, hidden income, misreported income, over-reported expenses, misclassified property, and more. The penalties for a tax evasion conviction can include the following:

  • Up to 5 years imprisonment and/or
  • Up to $250,000 fine for an individuals and $500,000 for a corporation

Penalties may vary depending on the severity of the crime. It is vital to have legal representation to understand what course of action you should take to resolve the situation.
