Timing Matters in Reporting Income Tax Fraud

The timing of a claim to report tax fraud under the Tax Whistleblower Reward Program is critical.

Congress requires the IRS to conduct an examination and to collect any taxes within 3 to 6 years from the date when a tax return was filed.  However, in some cases there is no statute of limitations, such as in those situations where a taxpayer did not file a tax return or if the fraud was intentional.

When it comes to the potential reward for reporting tax fraud, it is a matter of first come, first served. The IRS will only reward the first individual who presents information under the Tax Whistleblower Reward Program that leads to collection of moneys under the Act.  If you are considering a case, it is strongly recommended that you proceed as quickly as possible, as the tax fraud may be known by others in a legal department, an accounting department or an outside CPA firm, support staff and former employees.  If any of these parties report the fraud before you do, they will be eligible to collect the potential reward for reporting tax fraud.
