Civil/Criminal Coordination

Finally, as part of its effort to stop abusive tax scheme promotions, the Division uses parallel civil and criminal proceedings. To ensure that the IRS and Division attorneys make maximum use of all available legal remedies, the Division has created a Special Counsel for civil/criminal coordination, who provides agents and attorneys with one-on-one assistance in handling parallel civil and criminal proceedings, and who also conducts training for IRS and Division attorneys and participates in various bar panels. The Division also maintains an online resource library on criminal tax prosecutions and parallel proceedings.
