Executive Summary
Retiring IRS Criminal Investigation (CI) Chief Guy Fico reflects on his 30-year career, highlighting key cases like the KPMG tax shelter investigation and initiatives he spearheaded.
Fico details the "CI First" and "OFFRR" programs, designed to enhance public-private partnerships and standardize subpoena formats to improve the efficiency of AI-driven data analysis.
The agency faces significant challenges from resource constraints and the diversion of agents to non-core missions, forcing strategic pivots and a greater reliance on data-driven case selection.
Fico predicts future investigations will increasingly involve analyzing AI agent conversations, drone surveillance, and leveraging new data sources like the upcoming Form 1099-DA for digital assets.
