Paying taxes to the IRS is a responsibility almost every individual and company has. And there are few things the government takes more seriously than a failure to pay your taxes.
But some people or entities are so good at covering their tracks that they are getting away with massive fraud. That tax money should go to providing public services instead of making a rich person richer.
An IRS tax fraud whistleblower may be the only one who can bring these fraudsters to justice. The IRS Whistleblower Program has recovered billions of dollars in recent years, with nearly $500 million recovered in 2020 alone.1
If you know someone or a company that is cheating the government of the taxes they owe, you may have an IRS whistleblower claim.

What is the IRS whistleblower process?
The IRS whistleblower process goes something like this:
- We submit your IRS whistleblower form, along with evidence. The IRS generally protects the identity of whistleblowers to the fullest extent permitted by law.
- We use our vast experience to explain to the government why they should take your case.
- The IRS reviews our submission and argument and, ideally, opens an investigation.
- Once the investigation, court proceedings, and/or settlement negotiations are done, we fight for the maximum possible reward.
- If we don’t agree with a reward, we can generally appeal to the Tax Court.
Our You-First Policy
Throughout the process, our responsibility to you remains the same. Under our You-First Policy, we will fight for your protection from retaliation. In fact, if your employer retaliates against you for reporting tax fraud, you may be entitled to additional significant compensation on top of the whistleblower award you may receive.

If you’re wondering if it’s a good idea to speak with a whistleblower lawyer about what you know, let us set the record straight.
- Corporate ethics hotlines can be risky and may lead to termination. If you’ve already done this, call us immediately.
- Your coworkers could be aware of the fraud – or complicit in it – and you should not talk to them about it.
- The first claim to be filed under the False Claims Act can proceed – if you’re not first, you’re at a serious disadvantage and may get nothing (another reason not to speak to your coworkers about it).
- A confidential discussion costs you a few minutes, but could save you time, stress, and money.
