There may not be a Hallmark card for National Whistleblower Day, but it has been a day celebrated by the IRS since the whistleblower reward program began in 2007. Since then, the IRS has collected $7 billion from non-compliant taxpayers and has paid over $1.2 billion to the whistleblowers who led the IRS to these tax cheats.

The IRS received 44% more Whistleblower Reports this year compared to last year.
