IRS Tax Audits and Criminal Tax Investigations in Albuquerque
Facing an IRS criminal tax investigation in Albuquerque can be daunting. An unexpected encounter with CID special agents, often the first indication of an issue, escalates this stress. Such federal tax probes can stem from varied origins, be it innocent accounting mistakes or deliberate acts like unreported earnings or exaggerated deductions.
Standard Federal Audit vs. Criminal Tax Investigation in Albuquerque: Spotting the Difference
In Albuquerque, distinguishing between a routine federal tax audit and the highly worrying criminal tax investigation overseen by the IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) is vital. While an IRS civil tax audit seeks to verify tax filing correctness, a CID investigation’s objective is collecting evidence for prospective criminal tax charges, ensuring those willfully flouting the federal tax system face criminal tax prosecution.
CID’s Areas of Concentration Include:
- Legal Source Income Tax Violations: This deals with individuals who have legally earned their money but illegally avoid paying the taxes they rightfully owe;
- Financial Crimes from Unlawful Activities: This includes tax offenses, money laundering, and other financial crimes related to money from illegal activities;
- Drug-Related Financial Crimes: CID plays a significant role in the fight against drug crimes. They put in a lot of work to find and record the money trails that lead to the top figures in drug rings and
- Counterterrorism Financing: CID also works closely with other federal bodies, offering financial investigative prowess in cases linked to terrorism.
Navigating Albuquerque’s IRS Audit Spectrum
IRS tax audits in Albuquerque can vary in intensity, from simple mail-based inquiries to exhaustive on-site inspections where agents pore over financial documents at your Albuquerque home or enterprise. Immediate action is imperative, especially when a Fraud Technical Advisor (FTA) joins the scene, tasked with uncovering tax fraud indicators. Such discoveries might prompt a comprehensive IRS criminal tax probe. Given CID’s staggering 90% conviction success in the cases it pursues, it would be wise to seek the skilled experience of our dual-licensed Civil and Criminal Tax Defense Attorneys & CPAs.

How Long Do Criminal Tax Investigations Take?
Lengthy Investigations
The IRS is known for its systematic approach, leading to its criminal tax investigations often being highly intensive. Furnished with a wealth of resources, the IRS’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) agents delve deeply, often becoming personally vested in the outcome of the case;
The objective of Gathering Evidence
The primary motivation behind a criminal tax investigation is to amass evidence robust enough to charge someone with federal criminal tax violations, ensuring a successful conviction. Recognizing the detrimental impact of presenting a case with inadequate evidence, CID agents meticulously sift through all available data. They are driven by the deterrent effect charging someone with criminal tax violations has on others while ensuring a formidable case for federal tax prosecutors;
Wide-ranging Evidence Sources
Financial documents like records and bank statements serve as foundational evidence sources. However, the IRS doesn’t limit itself to these. CID agents frequently engage with potential witnesses, from professional associates and employees to acquaintances, friends, and family. Unearthing new details might lead CID agents to revisit these witnesses multiple times, thereby extending the investigation’s duration;
Diving into the Past
The period of the suspected noncompliance significantly influences how long a CID criminal investigation lasts. CID agents, when identifying a potential pattern of tax evasion, might meticulously look into records from many years ago. The deeper they venture into history, the more arduous the evidence-gathering process, potentially stretching out the tax probe’s duration;
Inherent Unpredictability
Every IRS criminal tax investigation is distinct, swayed by multiple factors such as specific case details, the CID agent overseeing, and the subject of the probe. Given this inherent unpredictability, seeking guidance from a dual-licensed Civil and Criminal Tax Defense Attorney & CPA becomes crucial. Their insight is invaluable when navigating the intricacies of such criminal tax investigations.
