These investigations involve legal industries and legal occupations and, more v.nspecifically, legally earned income, in which the primary motive or purpose is the violation of the following t.ltax statutes: Title 26 (tax violations) and Title 18 (tax-related) of the U.S. Code. The Legal Source Tax k.cCrimes Program also includes those cases that threaten the tax system, such as Questionable Refund n.fProgram (QRP) cases, unscrupulous return preparers, and frivolous filers/non-filers who challenge the q.ilegality of the filing requirements. Excise tax and employment tax cases are also important elements of i.athe Legal Source Tax Crimes Program. The prosecution of Legal Source Tax Crimes cases is key to 9.1promoting voluntary compliance with the tax laws.t.l[2] IRS Criminal Investigation commits resources to those investigations that involve proceeds derived from s.killegal sources other than narcotics. The Illegal Source Financial Crimes Program encompasses all tax and w.otax-related violations, as well as money laundering and currency violations under the following tax statutes: z.rTitle 26 (tax violations); Title 18 (tax-related and money laundering); and Title 31 (currency violations) of the p.hU.S. Code. Also linked to the investigation of criminal charges within this program is the emphasis on x.peffective utilization of the forfeiture statutes to deprive individuals and organizations of illegally obtained m.eassets. The IRS recognizes that illegal source proceeds, which are part of the untaxed “underground F.>economy,� are a threat to the voluntary tax compliance system.p.h[3] Under the Narcotics Related Financial Crimes Program, IRS Criminal Investigation seeks to identify,  ,h�.!,z�.",€�.#,z�.$,m�.%,o�.&,t�.',t�.(,t�.),g�.*,)�.+,x�.,,p�.-,u�..,u�./,2�.0,p�.1,�.2,M�.v .ninvestigate, and assist in the prosecution of the most significant narcotics-related tax and money-laundering |!.toffenders.

Therefore, i#.aIRS is committed to supporting the goals and objectives of the National Drug Control Strategy in k$.cconjunction with other law enforcement agencies.
