WHAT IS THE CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION? Criminal Investigation (CI) is the investigative and law enforcement arm of the IRS. The American system of voluntary tax compliance relies heavily on self-assessments of what tax is owed. When individuals or corporations deliberately do not comply with the tax laws, CI responds with financial investigations and potential criminal prosecutions to promote compliance and confidence in the fairness of the tax system.
