Lawyer’s Guide to Tax Fraud Whistleblower Protection Law

The Taxpayer First Act (TFA), which was signed into law on July 1, 2019, protects tax whistleblowers against retaliation, including whistleblowers that have provided information to the IRS through the IRS whistleblower reward program. The intention behind this law is to encourage whistleblowers to come forward if they have valuable inside information regarding tax noncompliance. This white paper reviews who is protected under the TFA and discusses what whistleblowing is protected under the Act.
