The U.S. Internal Revenue Service has proposed new rules for corporate tax whistleblowers that tax lawyers said may narrow whistleblowers’ ability to collect cash awards for information about possible misconduct.
If the tipster’s information overlaps with an audit the IRS is already conducting, an award might be denied, lawyers said, adding that this was not previously clear.
The public has until Feb. 19 to comment on the proposed rules, which the tax agency released late on Friday.
“It could narrow the scope of what is award-eligible,” said Scott Knott, a lawyer at The Ferraro Law Firm.
