IRS complaint or referral process – Tax-exempt bonds

If you suspect an issuer or beneficiary of tax advantaged bonds is not complying with the tax laws, you may submit information electronically through IRS.gov/submitatip. 

After a referral is made, submitters will not receive an acknowledgement letter or further updates due to tax return confidentiality under Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code. We will keep your identity confidential when you make a referral.
