I've met people who thought that the IRS makes money from collecting taxes - like that employees there get a cut.

Maybe they were talking about the program where you report tax evasion and then once the missing money is collected you get up to 30% of it? That exists.

According to https://www.irs.gov/compliance/whistleblower-office the whistleblower reward program is not available to employees of Department of the Treasury.
