Plain-English Summary

The legislation would expand protections and financial rewards for people who report tax fraud or illegal tax practices to federal authorities. Whistleblowers who expose violations of federal tax laws would receive stronger legal safeguards against retaliation from their employers and potentially larger financial awards for their information. This would encourage more people to come forward with evidence of tax crimes, helping the government catch tax cheaters and recover lost tax revenue.
