CRIMINAL TAX
The Criminal Investigation Division (CID) of the IRS works with startling efficiency in investigating and pursuing taxpayers who commit federal tax crimes:
- The IRS Criminal Investigation Division has almost as many agents as investigations, which results in you being assigned your own personal agent who is devoted solely to your criminal investigation.
- The IRS published statistics that reveal that approximately 80% of criminal tax investigations result in an indictment.
- Over 90% of the indictments against taxpayers result in a conviction.
- Out of 1,666 criminal investigations recommended for indictment in the fiscal year 2015, 1,664 were sentenced.
It's not hopeless, since of the CID investigations initiated in 2015; almost 25% did not get recommended for prosecution! This means that you must work quickly and precisely to keep criminal matters from turning the corner.
