IRS Noncomplex Cases

38.2.1.1  (08-11-2004)
Noncomplex Cases

  1. Noncomplex cases are those in which the tax liability or unreported income is established by the specific items method of proof, the appropriate amount of yearly additional tax for criminal purposes is met for each year, and only minimal adjustments to Criminal Investigation’s recommended computations are required.

  2. Noncomplex cases should be reviewed and evaluated within 45 days of receipt. See CCDM 38.2.1.3.

  3. An invitation for a conference will be extended in accordance with CCDM 38.2.1.4.2. Normally, conferences should be scheduled and held within 20 days of receipt of the case to meet the 45-day processing requirement. Delays or extensions of the date of the conference for the convenience of the taxpayer or taxpayer’s representative beyond 20 days should be permitted only if the Criminal Tax attorney and the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) agree that a conference is necessary and will not extend the case completion date beyond the 45-day limit.

  4. After reviewing the special agent’s report and exhibits, the Criminal Tax attorney prepares an evaluation memorandum for the SAC that discusses the legal issues and evaluates the prosecution potential of the case.
