IRS Whistleblower Office

The Internal Revenue Service announced a process has been formalized with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) that puts in place procedures between the IRS and TTB to process claims for whistleblower awards under internal revenue laws that are administered and enforced by TTB.

The IRS and TTB signed a Memorandum of Understanding on December 3, 2019, making these new procedures possible.

“This is another important step in our efforts to make the Whistleblower Program as effective as possible,” said Lee D. Martin, Director of the IRS Whistleblower Office. “The IRS Whistleblower Office is always looking to do more for whistleblowers.”
