Criminal Tax Investigations

A federal criminal tax investigation may be conducted by a federal grand jury at the direction of the U.S. Attorney's Office, or by special agents of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division. Either way, the objective of the investigation is to determine if there is sufficient evidence to prosecute the taxpayer for willfully violating the tax law by committing tax fraud or other violations of federal criminal tax statutes.

When this investigation is taking place, you are well advised to have an attorney who is experienced in criminal tax matters at your side. Our criminal defense attorneys can advise you on the defense strategy to follow and whether amnesty programs are available for your situation. (The IRS amnesty program for offshore accounts has ended but you should talk with us about whether the voluntary disclosure program could help you.)
