    A Tax Notes investigation unveiled how money sheltered in offshore insurance investment vehicles has eluded IRS auditors hampered by poor training and silos within the agency.

    Leaked documents obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and reviewed by Tax Notes show private placement life insurance structures — a special type of insurance available only to wealthy investors — with millions of dollars set up in offshore tax havens like Belize and the Cayman Islands.

    Three members of the Tax Notes investigations team explain their reporting process, from choosing the topic to final follow-ups.

    If you have a tip for the investigations team, reach them at [email protected] or through the Signal app at 347-731-3183.
