Tax whistleblowers constantly ask us,
How can I report tax fraud?What is my involvement?Can I remain anonymous?
In summary, there are two ways to be an IRS whistleblower, and both of these options require completing a one page form and sending it in to the IRS. If you called or visited your local IRS office you would be requested to complete one of these forms. In both cases it is important that you provide as much specific information as possible, and to the extent you can provide documentation, you do so.
The Tax Whistleblower Law Firm only accepts cases involving more than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in underpaid taxes, interest and penalties. If your case involves less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), you may contact the IRS tax fraud hotline at 1-800-829-0433.

The two options are:
No Reward. You can submit a Form 3949A “tip form” to the IRS in which you give them the information you have which again should be specific as possible and should include all the details you can such as names, addresses, dates, amounts, invoices or whatever other information concerns the specific tax issue you are reporting to the IRS. This option does not pay a reward, but may allow you to report tax fraud anonymously to the IRS. See Line 6 of the instructions and you will note that you may submit the form without providing any information as to yourself.
Reward: The second option requires the IRS to pay you a reward of 15% to 30% of the amount collected based upon the information you provided. However the tax, penalties and interest must be over Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) to qualify for this large reward. If the tax, penalty and interest is less than $2,000.000 the reward will be limited to a maximum of 15% and will be at the discretion of the IRS. To claim a reward you can submit a Form 211 “award claim form” to the IRS in which you provide “specific” information to the IRS that will help them detect an underpayment of tax. If in fact they collect tax, penalty and interest based upon the information provided by you then you will be eligible for a Whistleblower Award. Claiming an award cannot be done anonymously, but a Tax Whistleblower attorney can protect your identity throughout this process.
A well put together claim may provide you with an IRS reward whether you report tax fraud, tax evasion, estate tax evasion, gift tax evasion, corporate tax fraud, abusive tax shelters, offshore tax evasion, uncertain tax positions, or even math errors. The IRS Whistleblower Program applies to any underpayment of tax for which you provide information.
With respect to uncertain tax positions, we all know the tax laws are complicated and subject to interpretation. Often the tax laws are interpreted by taxpayers and tax planners differently than interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. Therefore, although a taxpayer may take a position on their tax return that falls within this “grey” area, should the IRS challenge the taxpayer’s interpretation that too would qualify for a reward under the IRS Tax Whistleblower Program.

There are many factors to consider in each situation when deciding whether IRS whistleblowing is the right thing to do, and many more factors to consider when trying to figure out which of these alternatives would be the best way to do it. Anonymity, security, protecting confidentiality, availability of evidence, and the type and size of the tax issue are just a few of those factors. If you are a professional in the tax or accounting field there are several more unique factors to consider which will be critical to the potential success of your whistleblower claim.

Example of Abusive Tax Schemes:
Abusive Foreign Trust Schemes: The foreign trust schemes usually start off as a series of domestic trusts layered upon one another. This set up is used to give the appearance that the taxpayer has turned his/her business and assets over to a trust and is no longer in control of the business or its assets. Once transferred to the domestic trust, the income and expenses are passed to one or more foreign trusts, typically in tax haven countries.
Once the assets are in foreign trust-two, a bank account is opened either under the trust name or an International Business Corporation (IBC). The trust documentation and business records of this scheme all make it appear that the taxpayer is no longer in control of his/her business or its assets. The reality is that nothing ever changed. The taxpayer still exercises full control over his/her business and assets. There can be many different variations to the scheme.
