Stronger Protections and Faster Payments for IRS Tax Fraud Whistleblowers.
This law strengthens the IRS whistleblower program, making it safer and more rewarding for individuals who report major tax fraud. It guarantees anonymity protection in Tax Court and ensures that financial awards cannot be reduced by budget cuts. Furthermore, whistleblowers will receive interest if the IRS delays the payment of their award beyond a set deadline.
Key points
Court Anonymity: Whistleblowers can remain anonymous in Tax Court proceedings, enhancing their personal safety.
Guaranteed Awards: Financial awards for reporting fraud are protected from automatic government budget cuts (sequestration).
Interest on Delays: The IRS must pay interest if the award payment is delayed for more than 12 months after the case is finalized.
