If you suspect or know of an individual or company that is not complying with the tax laws, you may report this activity by completing Form 3949-A. You may fill out Form 3949-A online, print it and mail it to:

Answer 6

Be careful. How do you KNOW she doesn't report her income? Have you seen her tax returns? I would not want to see you accused of libel or slander.

Answer 7

If you have concrete EVIDENCE of this, the IRS would be interested.  If all you have is a gut feeling (or even her claim that she pays no taxes) the IRS won't act on that.

Answer 8

Don't be a snitch, Tom.
