Text

The United States Attorney’s Office may not, without Tax Division approval, expand grand jury investigations into matters arising under the internal revenue laws to include targets that the Tax Division did not previously authorize. The United States Attorney’s Office, together with the IRS, must submit a written request to obtain Tax Division approval. The request must establish the basis for the Tax Division to authorize expansion of the investigation.
