About this listen

 Tax enforcement has entered a new age. The decades-old Justice Department Tax Division is now split between the broader civil and criminal divisions. Critics say the reorganization sends a signal that tax enforcement won't be a priority. While the reorganization may mean tax attorneys are pulled into different DOJ priorities, it also could mean more investigations will include tax charges, said Karen Kelly, who was the top official at the DOJ Tax Division before she joined Kostelanetz as a partner in August. DOJ tax attorneys are prioritizing immigration, fraud, and investigations into tax-exempt organizations that may have ties to "Antifa," Kelly said. The latter refers to an informal collection of people with left-leaning views that was a focus of a recent directive from Attorney General Pam Bondi. On this episode of Talking Tax, Kelly sits down with Bloomberg Tax reporter Erin Schilling to discuss DOJ's tax enforcement priorities, changing strategies, and how taxpayers should prepare.
