Additionally, many of our experts are located outside of Washington, DC, and this may require some travel to receive briefings.

There are five major business operating divisions within the IRS.

Taxpayer Services – Provides top quality service by helping taxpayers understand and comply with applicable tax laws and protects the public interest by applying the tax law with integrity and fairness to all.

Small Business/Self-Employed Division (SB/SE) – Small businesses with assets under $10 million U.S. dollars, self-employed individuals, farms, rental properties and estates.

Large Business and International Division (LB& I) – Large corporations and mid-size businesses with assets of $10 million or more U.S. dollars, international taxpayers and high wealth individuals.

Criminal Investigation Division (CI) – Investigates criminal violation of the IRS Code, for example, tax fraud and money laundering.

Tax-Exempt and Government Entities (TE/GE) – Pension plans, exempt organizations (religious, charitable and not-for profit organizations), government entities (federal, state, local and Indian tribal governments) and tax-exempt bonds.

For more information on these operating divisions and other functional areas, please visit About IRS.
