The US Department of Justice's Tax Division is responsible for prosecuting civil and criminal cases arising under the Internal Revenue Code and other tax laws in the United States. The division began operations in 1934, under US Attorney General Homer Stille Cummings, who assigned him the primary responsibility to oversee all federal litigation involving internal revenue (following the executive order of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt).

Current program
In August 2013, the Justice Department announced its Swiss bank program, which "provides an opportunity for Swiss banks to go forward, cooperate, disclose their illegal behavior, and qualify for non-prosecution agreements - or in horrible cases, pending prosecution agreement. "
Offshore voluntary disclosure programs are for individual taxpayers to forge ahead and pay taxes owed on undisclosed income. However, National Taxpayer Advocate Nina E. Olson advocates changes to the program to encourage account holders with small balances to move forward.
