Bill overview
This bill, the IRS Whistleblower Program Improvement Act, aims to strengthen protections and incentives for individuals who report tax fraud to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). It changes how the Tax Court reviews whistleblower award decisions to require a fresh, independent assessment, protects whistleblower anonymity in court proceedings (except when necessary for public interest), and mandates that IRS reports include a list of the top tax avoidance schemes disclosed. The bill also ensures that whistleblower attorneys’ fees are deductible regardless of the award type and provides for interest payments on mandatory whistleblower awards if the IRS is late in notifying the whistleblower.
