IRS Whistleblowers Collect Over $230 Million In 3 Years

By on July 20, 2015

The IRS Whistleblower Award Program has paid over $230 million in awards over the last three fiscal years, according to its most recent report to Congress. The awards averaged over $650,000 each, and average about 18% of the amount collected in each case. The program received over 14,000 new claims during FY 2014. According to the report, the award program exists to provide whistleblowers with an incentive to report “significant tax noncompliance” to the IRS.
