Recovery for Whistleblowing
As a whistleblower, you can recover a percentage of the amount collected in the case. If the amount in dispute exceeds $2 million, including taxes, penalties, and interest, you may receive 15 to 30 percent of the amount recovered. For cases that do not meet this minimum threshold, you may recover up to 15 percent.
Confidentiality of IRS Whistleblowers
As an IRS whistleblower, your identity will be kept confidential unless you are needed as an essential witness in a judicial proceeding. Many times when recoveries are obtained, the company is unaware that it is the subject of a whistleblower claim.

Many actions can contribute to significant tax underpayment. Detailed evidence of these types of fraud can help the IRS recover tax dollars and qualify you for an award under the IRS whistleblower program:
- Underreporting income
