IRS Special Agents

IRS Special Agents are federal law enforcement officers who investigate violations of tax laws and financial crimes, including fraud and money laundering. They typically have backgrounds in accounting, finance, or law enforcement and receive specialized training in criminal investigation techniques. Their primary goal is to ensure compliance with tax laws and to pursue criminal cases against individuals or organizations that evade taxes or engage in illegal financial activities. They work closely with other law enforcement agencies and can make arrests, conduct surveillance, and gather evidence to support their investigations.
