IRS Whistleblower Program
Practice AreasAs outside counsel to public pension plans, I know that I can recommend Berman Tabacco to my clients with absolute confidence. They are the type of firm that I feel comfortable entrusting our name and reputation to — and that’s the bottom line. They’re into quality and not quantity. I appreciate the detail and care evidenced in their work product. When they recommend a case, you know they’ve done their due diligence.
The IRS Whistleblower Program allows a whistleblower to receive an award if the whistleblower presents specific and credible information about a tax fraud that leads the IRS to collect an amount over $2 million from an entity (such as a corporation) or an individual with a gross income of $200,000 for the relevant tax period.
If these criteria are fulfilled, the IRS whistleblower can recover between 15- 30% of the collected proceeds, including penalties, interest, additions to tax and other amounts.
