“The IRS turns away from auditing big business.” How do we know? TRACfed! Associated with Syracuse University, this service provides comprehensive information about federal enforcement activities, as well as detailed information about federal staffing, federal funds, and the diverse characteristics of counties, federal districts, and states. It also generates free reports based on its data which are highlighted at http://tracfed.syr.edu/notices/whatsnew.html and has an About the Law tool (link to http://trac.syr.edu/laws/) which allows users to get data about specific statutes used in federal prosecutions and convictions. Off-campus access is controlled by HLS Account username and password.
For even more information about the IRS, see TRACFed’s recently released annual report on IRS operations.
