Tax Fraud
Every year, taxpayers fail to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS has limited resources, and corporations and the wealthy have used offshore arrangements and aggressive tax shelters to dodge legitimate taxes, leaving the government with a significant funding shortfall.
Whistleblowers can play a pivotal role in stopping tax evasion, and a variety of statutes are designed to reward and protect those who come forward to report tax fraud. The IRS Whistleblower Program pays rewards to whistleblowers who report federal tax underpayments, and several states pay tax whistleblower awards through similar programs or their state False Claims Acts, which allow whistleblowers to bring lawsuits to recover money owed to the government. Abroad, Canada and South Korea have programs to reward tax whistleblowers.
