Mission

The Tax Audit Division (TAD) is comprised of auditors who ensure the proper payment of excise 
taxes and compliance with laws and regulations in a manner that protects the revenue and 
prevents unlawful activity in the commodities that TTB regulates. 

What We Do

In accomplishing our mission, TAD auditors:

• Conduct complex Federal excise tax examinations of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and 
  ammunition industry members.
• Interview accountants, representatives of financial institutions, industry representatives, and 
  others including Federal and State officials to obtain information related to excise tax liability.
• Provide excise tax assistance and guidance to Federal and State enforcement officials as well 
  as the members of industries.
• Examine internal controls as they relate to the preparation of operating reports and tax 
  returns.
• Provide support for civil or criminal case action, as necessary.
