Maryland Whistleblower Program
The Maryland Whistleblower Reward Program empowers individuals who report tax evasion and fraud by providing substantial monetary compensation for their courage in stepping forward. Working with an experienced whistleblower claim attorney significantly increases your chances of securing the maximum reward possible.
What is the Maryland Whistleblower Program?
The Maryland Whistleblower Reward Program offers financial incentives to individuals who provide original, actionable information that leads to the assessment and collection of Maryland tax liabilities.
Whistleblowers who partner with a knowledgeable attorney can receive between 15% to 30% of the total taxes, penalties, and interest collected as a result of their disclosure. An experienced whistleblower claim attorney can help maximize this award by properly structuring your claim from the beginning.
Filing A Whistleblower Claim
If you have evidence of tax evasion, fraud, or underpayment of taxes, a qualified whistleblower claim attorney can help you submit a compelling whistleblower claim to the State of Maryland. Your attorney will:
- Help you thoroughly document how you obtained the information
- Prepare witness statements and evidence in the proper format
- Structure your claim to meet all legal requirements
- Protect your identity and rights throughout the process
- Position your claim for the maximum possible award
A whistleblower claim attorney experienced with Maryland tax law provides critical guidance that can mean the difference between rejection and a substantial award.
Challenging An Award
If the Comptroller denies or minimizes your whistleblower award, you must challenge this determination within 45 days. A seasoned whistleblower claim attorney can:
- Draft a compelling formal letter disputing the determination
- Articulate convincing legal arguments supporting your challenge
- Meet all procedural deadlines critical to preserving your rights
- Represent you in any hearings or further legal proceedings
While you cannot contest the amount of unpaid taxes or enforcement actions, a skilled attorney can effectively challenge the award determination itself.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Being selected for an audit is arguably one of the worst things that could happen to a small business owner, or at least that’s how I felt.
It felt a lot less stressful when I hired Jess to communicate with the IRS on my behalf. Her extensive knowledge of tax law was evident when she would educate not just me but also the RA on the proper law.
She went the extra mile every day – with driving to me, essentially holding my hand through an interview, and making sure all responses to the RA were effective.
If you get audited – I strongly recommend having her by your side.
– Parul G.
As a small business owner, I had an enormous amount of questions. I needed to know how to book keep, claim deductions and credits, navigate selling online, providing services in different jurisdictions, and filing quarterly taxes.
A small business requires an enormous attention to detail and Jessica helped me be meticulous in strategizing my tax landscape and know the necessary laws and regulations.
I highly recommend her to anyone with tax questions.
