Legal Source tax investigations involve legal industries and d\legal occupations and more specifically, legally earned income, in which the primary motive meor purpose is the violation of tax statutes: Title 26 (tax violations) and Title 18 (tax related) of [Sthe U.S. Code. The Legal Source Tax Crimes Program also includes those cases that VNthreaten the tax system, such as the Questionable Refund Program (QRP) cases, d\unscrupulous return preparers and frivolous filers/non-filers who challenge the legality of e]the filing requirements. Excise tax and employment tax cases are also important elements of _Wthe Legal Source Tax Crimes Program. The prosecution of Legal Source Tax Crimes cases C;is key to promoting voluntary compliance with the tax laws.g_[2] IRS Criminal Investigation commits resources to those investigations that involve proceeds `Xderived from illegal sources other than narcotics. The Illegal Source Financial Crimes `XProgram encompasses all tax and tax-related violations, as well as money laundering and iacurrency violations: Title 26 (tax violations); Title 18 (tax related and money laundering); and g_Title 31 (currency violations) of the U.S. Code. Also linked to the investigation of criminal h`charges within this program is the emphasis on effective utilization of the forfeiture statutes h`to deprive individuals and organizations of illegally obtained assets.

IRS derives this authority from the statutes for which it m%ehas jurisdiction: Title 26 (tax violations); Title 18 (tax related and money laundering); and Title b&Z31 (currency violations) of the U.S. Code. Therefore, IRS is committed to supporting the a'Ygoals and objectives of the National Drug Control Strategy in conjunction with other law a(Yenforcement agencies. IRS's primary objective in the Narcotics Related Financial Crimes _)WProgram is to reduce the profit and financial gains of narcotics trafficking and money a*Ylaundering organizations that comprise a significant portion of the untaxed "underground + economy."b,Z[4] Because a financial investigation involves volumes of documents and financial data, a [-Scriminal investigation may take several years to complete. For example, a criminal e.]investigation may be initiated in one year, recommended for prosecution in another year, and f/^convicted or acquitted in yet another year. Therefore, the data shown in cases initiated does c0ot represent the same universe of cases shown in other actions within a given Fiscal Year.c1[[5] Both "information" and "indictments" are accusations. The word "information" means an `2Xaccusation made by law enforcement without the intervention of a grand jury, whereas an V3N"indictment" is an accusation made by a prosecutor and issued by a grand jury.`4X[6] Incarcerated may include prison time, home confinement, electronic monitoring, or a 5combination thereof.@68NOTE: Detail may not add to totals because of rounding.R7JSOURCE: 2000 IRS Data Book, Publication 55b.
