The Internal Revenue Service headquarters in Washington, D.C. — A man enters the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) building in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Friday, May 7, 2010. Americans seeking reward money are turning in neighbors, clients and employers they suspect of cheating on taxes to the IRS at a rate of nearly eight per day, the director of the agency's whistleblower program said.

E-Services also will be unavailable from Thursday, June 15, at 6 p.m. through Monday, June 19, at 6 a.m. as it moves to a different platform as part of a technology upgrade.
