Two newsletters set to launch in August Date: August 8, 2023 Contact: newsroom@ci.irs.gov WASHINGTON – IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) will launch two newsletters this month to keep U.S. taxpayers up to date on the agency's latest investigative news – CI Presents: Tax Case of the Month and ICYMI: Top CI Stories from the Past Week. Taxpayers can sign up to receive both newsletters on IRS.gov. Each month, CI leadership selects one adjudicated tax case investigated by CI's team of special agents as the Tax Case of the Month. These cases include hefty prison sentences and high-dollar fraud amassed from tax crimes ranging from income tax to return preparer fraud. The Tax Case of the Month newsletter will walk subscribers through the details of the case. On Mondays, CI will issue an In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) bulletin to highlight the agency's top social media stories from the past week. Topics will range from high-profile investigations to stories about the people who wear the CI badge. Interested in subscribing? Visit the e-News subscriptions page on IRS.gov.
