IRS Whistleblower Program Improvement Act

Placed on the Union Calendar, Calendar No. 526.

2026-04-09

This bill would strengthen protections and increase rewards for people who report tax fraud or illegal financial activity to the IRS, making it easier for whistleblowers to come forward without fear of retaliation. The changes would likely include higher financial incentives for successful tips that lead to recovered taxes, clearer confidentiality rules, and stronger legal protections for whistleblowers in their jobs. These changes aim to help the IRS catch more tax cheaters and financial criminals by encouraging insiders and others with knowledge of wrongdoing to report it.
