IRS Whistleblower Program Improvement Act

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill makes several changes to the IRS program that rewards people who report tax cheating. It would give whistleblowers stronger rights when challenging award decisions in Tax Court, allow them to keep their identity private during court proceedings, and require the IRS to pay interest on awards if it doesn't notify whistleblowers about their payments on time. The bill also requires the IRS to include information about the top tax avoidance schemes that whistleblowers have uncovered in its reports, and it lets all whistleblowers deduct their attorney fees from their income on their taxes, not just those who received certain types of awards.
