Will they be able to shoot you if they think you don't pay your taxes?

Complete report is here.

I heard rumors that the IRS is looking for a few good men and women. You think that you may qualify cause you have good accounting skills. Guess what they want more. I wonder how many of the 87,000 will go into this divison? This from the IRS.

As a Special Agent you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes. Special Agents are duly sworn law enforcement officers who are trained to "follow the money." No matter what the source, all income earned, both legal and illegal, has the potential of becoming involved in crimes which fall within the investigative jurisdiction of the IRS Criminal Investigation. Because of the expertise required to conduct these complex financial investigations, IRS Special Agents are considered the premier financial investigators for the Federal government. 

Criminal Investigation Special Agents are part of a diverse workforce that mirrors the taxpaying public we serve.
