IRS Criminal Investigations Shifts Focus

IRS Criminal Investigations Division Shifts Focus: From Tax Evasion to Immigration Enforcement and National Guard SupportThe IRS Criminal Investigations Division, known for pursuing tax evaders, has expanded its role this year. Despite a 10% staff reduction, the unit has assisted with National Guard deployments in Memphis and supported immigration operations, deploying 250 agents for undocumented individual tracking and deportation. While corporate fraud and money laundering investigations have increased, tax evasion cases have plummeted, with recommended prosecutions dropping from 92 to 34. This shift underscores a changing mission for the IRSs crime-fighting arm. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city. Every story. AI powered. Hosted on Acast.
