Whistleblower Partners attorneys represent a client who, along with two other whistleblowers, received a maximum 30% reward in the total amount of $79 million for helping expose and shut down a longstanding and complex tax fraud. It is one of the largest awards in the IRS whistleblower program's history. Because of the information provided by the whistleblowers, the government recovered $263.7 million in unpaid taxes, penalties, and interest from the taxpayer. In issuing the award at the maximum percentage allowed, the IRS found that the whistleblowers' information was unlikely to be detected through ordinary examination methods and identified connections between complex transactions and parties to expose the fraudulent tax scheme. The whistleblowers provided exceptional cooperation and assistance to the government's investigation, leading to its successful recovery. To learn more about this historic case, read our blog.
