A visit from the IRS's police department, the CID (Criminal Investigation Division), means you have IRS problems. The CID has two sections working independent of each other. Special Enforcement is in charge of unions, drugs, and organized crime, while ordinary taxpayers and everything else is the responsibility of General Enforcement. You or someone you are related to is likely under criminal investigation if the CID visits you. These investigations can take a long time to complete and involve questioning friends, family, neighbors, business associates, bankers, staff, accountants, insurance agents, etc. If you are contacted by the CID about someone you know, don't lie. Be very careful if they are investigating your business partner as whatever you say might involve you. The CID's thorough investigation leads the IRS to about eighty per cent of tax crimes being prosecuted.

If you are the subject of the investigation, call your lawyer right away and do not speak to the CID. Your lawyer can find out what's happening by calling the IRS.

If the CID can prove your guilt without a doubt, you can be prosecuted. If not, you will get away with civil penalties.

Failure to file a tax return, evading taxes, or filing a fraudulent tax return will get the CID on your case.

If the CID moves forward with prosecution, the Justice Department takes over. It will be decided if the IRS should seek a federal grand jury indictment against you after an Assistant U.S. Attorney General studies your case. You'll be ordered to face a federal judge or be arrested once you're formally charged. At this point, you will be given the opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty. You might have to post bail or you might be released on your own recognizance.

Pleading not guilty eventually leads to a trial by judge or jury. If the IRS proves your guilt of the crime beyond reasonable doubt, you will be incarcerated at a federal prison for an average of 2 years. A plea bargain might give you a reduced sentenced, or even just placed on probation or fined. You will, however, have to pay the cost of prosecuting you.

I know two people one that works for a major contractor that has used stolen goods from his site to build a brand new 25000 basement and then sold it, and the other bought a new house and had done the same thing. I involves stolen goods, mususe of subcontractors to get work, expensive tools, and some of the stolen goods he has used as tax write off to his fathers not for profit organization. I hesitate to mention names right now because, it would hurt me personnally if it got out how you found out. A nickel or dime here or their is one thing but he said he donated @100 light fixtures that were stolen from the construction site. The fixtures were valued orginally at 400 ea. As they did their taxes they adjusted eight the quanity or price and the liability came down. So my question to you is can you do this without my name coming up?
