Section 301.7623–1(a) currently provides that proceeds of amounts (other than interest) collected by reason of the information provided include both amounts collected because of the information provided and amounts collected prior to receipt of the information if the information leads to the denial of a claim for refund that otherwise would have been paid. 63 FR 44777.

The amendments designated the existing section 7623 as section 7623(a). As originally enacted, section 7623 provided that rewards shall be paid ‘‘from the proceeds of amounts (other than interest) collected by reason of the information provided z5 * * * ’’ The 2006 amendments to section 7623 struck the ‘‘other than interest’’ language. The amendments also added section 7623(b), which provides that in certain cases individuals shall receive an award of at least 15% but not more than 30% of the collected proceeds resulting from the action with which the Secretary proceeded based on information brought to the attention of the Secretary by the individual. The 2006 amendments to section 7623 also created the IRS Whistleblower Office, which is responsible for administering a whistleblower program within the IRS. E:\FR\FM\18JAP1.SGM 18JAP1
