If you have information about a tax law violation, you may report it to the Florida Department of Revenue. The Department will investigate information you provide about an individual or business that may be evading or violating Florida tax laws.
When you contact the Department to report an alleged tax violation, please be prepared to provide information about the business, the type of violation, and date when the violation occurred.
To report a tax violation:
In certain circumstances, you may also be eligible for a monetary reward. Rewards are not automatic — they are only awarded when an investigation proves that there was a violation and all monies are recovered by the Department. We will send you an Application for Compensation for Tax Information (DR-55) after we receive your report of a tax violation.
You may report a tax violation anonymously; however, you will not be eligible for a reward.
Tax Laws - Rewards for reporting tax violations are authorized by section 213.30, Florida Statutes, Compensation for information relating to a violation of the tax laws and Rule 12-18, Florida Administrative Code, Compensation for Tax Information.
