IRS Whistleblower Office Awarded More than $61 Million in 2016

​The IRS Whistleblower office, which was established in 2006, will process tips received from individuals who spot tax problems and report the violations to the IRS.

If the IRS acts upon the tip and collects additional tax as a result of the tip, the IRS could offer a reward that is worth between 15 to 30 percent of the amounts collected. 

I have included the 2016 annual report, which shows that in fiscal year 2016 the IRS awarded more than $61 Million.
