A whistleblower says the IRS hasn't been policing the abuse of tax breaks offered to new residents of Puerto Rico.
  • The IRS's probe into the abuse of a Puerto Rican tax benefit has made little progress, a whistleblower said.
  • In a letter reviewed by The New York Times, the insider says that less than 1% of beneficiaries were audited.
  • The tax break allows new residents of Puerto Rico to be exempt from local taxes on investment profits.

A whistleblower claims that the Internal Revenue Service has not done enough to stop the exploitation of a Puerto Rico tax break, The New York Times reported.
