IRS Whistleblower Office and it’s role in tax collection

The IRS Whistleblower Office (WBO) plays a key role in tax collection. The federal tax system relies on voluntary compliance, investigations, data analytics and information from people with knowledge of noncompliance. A tip that leads to collection of proceeds based on matters within the IRS’s jurisdiction may result in a valid claim for a cash award. What makes a claim valid? To qualify for an award, a claim must provide specific and credible information regarding tax underpayments or violations. Generally, an award ranges from 15% to 30% of the proceeds collected that are attributable to information from the tipster. Learn more about the WBO claim process here: https://bit.ly/3RleVWh
