Tax whistleblowers fuel IRS enforcement and rewards
A briefing on how the Internal Revenue Service receives about 100000 annual informant letters. It notes 9840 leads deemed worthy of preliminary checks and 3796 thorough investigations last year, with 2391 prosecutions and 12 million dollars recovered from informants. Rewards average 4 to 5 percent of recovered taxes, with a top rate of ten percent, and tips are used only for illicit trafficking probes. Public attitudes toward informants vary as officials defend their role in upholding tax compliance.
