National Whistleblower Appreciation Day was July 30. Since the IRS program’s inception in 2007, whistleblower information has contributed to more than $8 billion recovered and over $1.4 billion paid in awards. The IRS Whistleblower Office provides a secure process for individuals to report tax violations. In some cases, taxpayers receive a monetary award for information that leads to the collection of taxes, penalties or other amounts. The IRS has enhanced its digital tools to make it easier to submit a claim. For example, the IRS launched Form 211, Application for Award for Original Information, allowing whistleblowers to submit information online. For details: https://bit.ly/45xKq5K
