While you may want to claim a reward for reporting an ex-boyfriend's tax fraud to the IRS, realize that he might not make enough money to qualify you for the IRS reward program.
IRC Section 7623(b) sets out the criteria for claiming a reward. If reporting an individual, that individual must earn more than $200,000 per year in gross income. Regardless of whether one is reporting an individual or an entity, the amount in dispute must exceed $2,000,000. The amount in dispute includes taxes owed, penalties, and interest.
Anyone, with very few exceptions, can file a claim. Anyone.
If your ex-boyfriend's tax fraud meets the criteria, you can have your claim reviewed, and it is highly unlikely that the ex would ever learned who reported him. To top it all off, if the IRS recovers, the contributing whistleblower is eligible for a percentage.
While frivolous and perhaps improperly-motivated, claims should not be made, people should report IRS fraud when they learn of it, reward or not. We have to pay for the bail out somehow.
