When the civil side of IRS believes that a tax crime has been committed, they create a report and refer the allegations to IRS-Criminal Investigation for evaluation. Within 10 days of receiving this file, IRS-CI meets with the civil side. This is called a "5 Way Conference." In this conference, certain questions are asked to help IRS-CI evaluate the referral. In this episode, I discuss the questions that are asked and why it is important if you are representing a client in a potential fraud referral.
