The Internal Revenue Service's Whistleblower Office now has an easier way to report tax noncompliance with the new digital
Individuals can now securely provide information electronically to the Whistleblower Office in digital format, reducing transcription errors and costs and furthering the IRS's agency-wide efforts to digitize paper forms.
"Enhancing the taxpayer experience is one of the top priorities of the IRS Whistleblower Office," said acting Whistleblower Office director Erick Martinez in a statement. "With the launch of the digital Form 211, whistleblowers can easily share what they know with the IRS from their phone or laptop."
Since 2007, the Whistleblower Office has awarded more than $1.4 billion to whistleblowers based on the collection of more than $7.86 billion attributable to whistleblower-provided information.
The IRS Whistleblower Office will continue to accept Form 211 submissions by snail-mail but encourages the use of the new electronic form.
