The IRS said last fall it deployed more than 900 revenue officers as it began contacting about 1,600 new taxpayers that met that criteria, owing hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes
The agency added it also offered positions to more than 560 new accountants in November and December to pursue such cases.
In July, the IRS said its early enforcement of high-income tax evaders built momentum for the current back tax haul, where some have been sentenced for tax evasion, money laundering and filing false tax reports.
