Criminal Investigation (CI) Division

The Criminal Investigation (CI) Division of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is responsible for detecting and investigating tax-related crimes, such as tax evasion, fraud, and money laundering. CI agents are specially trained law enforcement officers who gather evidence, conduct interviews, and build cases against individuals or businesses suspected of violating tax laws. Their work can lead to criminal charges, fines, and imprisonment for offenders. The CI Division ensures that everyone pays their fair share of taxes and maintains the integrity of the tax system.
