Does the IRS investigate all fraud cases?

I recently reported someone to the IRS (Fresno, Ca division) for undeclared income over the past 5 years ($300,000.00 of stolen money). Is this amount too small for them to start an investigation? There is documentation of this person's activity.Does the IRS investigate all fraud cases?
The IRS investigates all reports of tax fraud, especially where undeclared income is involved. You won't hear about it. And it can take a long time to investigate (they have LOTS of cases!). But be assured that it will be investigated, especially since it involves over $100,000.Does the IRS investigate all fraud cases?
Back when I worked for the IRS the rule my CID buddy told me is that if someone called the Tax Fraud Hotline and left their name/number and the issue involved more than $100K in taxes then it would be investigated promptly.





However, if the report was made anonymously {irregardless of the amount of tax involved} the report would be sent to the bottom of the pile - so maybe it would get worked and maybe it wouldn't.





Federal LE Agents simply do not have the time to be running down all the ';crank calls'; they receive.

Yes, they do. It might take time, but they do. They are booked up all year long, get behind and everything. Usually they take time to make the case. Reason why it's guilty until proven innocent with them, they have TONS of proof before they even come after you XD
No, they do not. Unless your report includes EVIDENCE of tax evasion or fraud they won't do anything with your report.
They will, but it'll take a while.
