The IRS has developed several methods of proof of income tax evasion in an effort to decrease the tax gap.
These investigations can be carried out to determine the correctness of any tax return, make a return where none has been made, determine the liability of any person for any income tax or collect any income tax.
The IRS has the authority to summons the taxpayer to provide particular information for purposes of investigating and ascertaining the correctness of the tax return.
The information requested may include books, records, papers and any other data which may be relevant to the investigation.
However, the IRS investigator must follow all proper administrative steps in obtaining the information.
The IRS tax informant ( whistleblower ) award was created to assist the IRS in obtaining necessary information.
While these investigations can lead to criminal prosecution, the IRS itself has no power to prosecute tax evasion crimes.
The IRS can only impose penalties and require payment of proper tax due.
