Enforcing Compensation for Uncovering Tax Controversies
It's not uncommon for organizations and businesses to take steps to reduce operating costs, expenses, and 'overhead.' Unfortunately, underpaying taxes is sometimes used as an option to do so. Whistleblowers who report these illegal acts are according to the IRS Whistleblower statute (26 U.S.C. 7623), may be entitled to a reward. These rewards may be up to 30% of the amount collected.
The businesses that commit tax fraud can range in size from small operations to large corporations.. A tax whistleblower is entitled to compensation for their cooperation once the IRS completes its investigation and collects the amounts owed to the government due to the fraudulent activity. An experienced IRS whistleblower protection attorney can help ensure that you receive the money you deserve for standing up for the taxpayers of the United States.
What Constitutes Tax Fraud or Fraud on the IRS?
Underreporting taxes is an illegal act, and if an employee reports this fraud to authorities, he or she may risk losing their job or experience another form of professional retaliation. Employees who report these illegal acts are often referred to as whistleblowers, and according to the IRS Whistleblower reward statute (26 U.S.C. 7623), they are entitled to a reward. Although tax fraud is often reported by employees, because the nature of their job gives them information as to underreporting or fraudulent accounting, the whistleblower protections and rewards are not limited to employees. Private citizens who know of tax fraud may be eligible as well.
