The following are examples of Internal Revenue Service Criminal Prosecution Investigative proceedings:
Not only does the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) enforce civil tax laws, but it can also impose criminal charges leading to a conviction, fines and imprisonment.
If an IRS Special Agent ever contacts you personally, this may mean that they are conducting a criminal investigation. IRS Agents are known to visit the residences of you, your neighbors, and your place of employment.
If your bank notifies you that the Criminal Investigation Division of the IRS or the U.S. Attorney's Office is requesting copies of your bank records through a summons, there is a high likelihood that you and/or your company are under criminal investigation.
If your accountant is subpoenaed to appear before the Grand Jury and bring your records, a Federal Grand Jury is being utilized to conduct a criminal investigation of you and/or your company. The Grand Jury is gathering evidence at the request of referral of the IRS or other government agency.
If you receive a notice from the IRS that one or more of your previous tax years are being audited AND you know that the returns filed contain either understatements of income or overstatements of deductions, or both, there is a possibility that you will be investigated by the Criminal Division of the IRS.
