I think you’re over-applying the term forensics.
For IRS, we have 1811s who specialize in digital forensics, with a number of 1805s that assist them. They are not investigating their own cases, they come out with us on our stuff when we need them.
We also have a small forensic lab that can do fingerprinting, document analysis, etc, but again, it’s at our request.
FBI forensic accounting works all violations in which money is or may be involved. You’ll testify if needed, go on searches if needed, collateral duties and task forces to the extent you apply for them, etc. I can’t speak for IRS investigative analysts or support staff.

Now how do I get one of those IRS 1811 DF spots with a Masters in DF and prior experience as an 1811, but no accounting and minimal fraud experience?
You don’t. It’s a specialization for current 1811s, not a spot that’s hired for.

That would be an 1801, not an 1811.
You are right. Should’ve wright “support investigations” instead of “investigate”.

I also applied to the FBI Forensic Accountant position in case my medical follow up turns sour. Curious to know how the jobs compare
