Topic: Legal News

Pursuant to legislation passed in late 2006, the IRS has recently set up a new Whistle-Blower Office. The IRS is offering to give an award of 15% to 30% of the total proceeds that the IRS collects as a result of the reporting by employees who spot tax problems in their work place or individuals who encounter what they believe to be tax fraud or tax evasion in their day to day business or elsewhere. The IRS has issued a new form 3449-A, which asks for, among other things, the name, address, social security number and employer I.D. number of the suspected tax evader, the type of violation of income tax, whether or not books and records are available, whether or not the whistle blower considers the taxpayer to be dangerous, the banks and financial institutions used by the taxpayer, etc. The form is then forwarded to the Internal Revenue Service, Fresno, California, 93888.
