icij.org/inside-icij/2024/03/new-data-shows-irss-10-year-struggle-to-investigate-tax-crimes/
Quick Glance: IRS's Struggle with Tax Crimes Over a Decade
- In the past fiscal year, the civil IRS referred only 157 tax cases for criminal investigation - from more than 200 million tax forms filed annually, as shown by new federal data.
- There has been a significant decrease in the possible tax crimes identified by civil investigators of the IRS over the past 10 years.
- In early 2022, Congress granted the IRS an additional $80 billion to staff up the agencies that audit millionaires, billionaires, and large corporations.
- Experts widely agree that the efforts to overhaul the IRS will take years, including the hiring and training of thousands of new officers and modernizing its sprawling data systems.
