Lol, this is a money saving tip? I don’t think I’d be comfortable backstabbing someone I know just for a few thousand measley dollars. Solid personal relationships are way more valuable than that!

If the person owes THAT much in tax that I would get a million dollar reward, I’m sure something can be worked out between that person and I. :p

[…] PFAdvice recently blogged about a tax fraud reporting program at the IRS that would pay you anywhere between 1% to 15% of the amount of money the IRS recovers as a result of your reporting. Now, reporting sounds difficult because you need all sorts of information and proof about who you’re reporting (like their social security number, birthday, etc.) and it begs the question, would you sell out someone else for money? Chances are if you’re reporting someone then you probably know them (duh) and if you know their birthday then you probably friends with that person (or you’ve been spying on them), so would you sell them out for $100? (minimum payout). […]

ugh…couldn’t do it. too nasty. also to learn so much you’d be in a position of trust. can someone buy out your trust?

If an employee were embezzling money from me, even if it was a friend, I wouldn’t think twice about calling the cops. People that don’t pay taxes are basically embezzling money from the US government in my opinion.

The problem I see is that you have to do all the investigating with this program where it should be the responsibility of the tax authorities to follow up on tips just like the police do. Asking for me to do all the work makes it much less likely that I would do it. If on the other hand, there was a tip line with a reward and I knew someone was cheating on taxes, I would call. Just becasue its the government doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be paying what they owe.

i do know of a couple thathas been renting out rental propertys for well over ten years, i do know that i rented from them and they made me pay in cash so they did not have too pay income taxs on it, they confided in me and i saw several of there property tennates paying them in cash, i do know this to be a fact and think it can be proved by the irs checking there property they own and seeing they do not even put the money in the bank at the end of every month, they take it in cash and use only there social sucurity for income,i know they take 2000.00 a month that i am sure of, what can i do???to turn them in?

now what if you did not like the person? that if they had done something so bad to you that they to pay for what they had done to make them poor and teach them a lesson in life would it then be worth it? ask yourself could you screw over a person that messed with you first? think about it!!!!!

Personally, I was friends with someone for many years, and today I learned that she was telling my boss false info about me, and I know for fact that she is being paid under the table and not paying taxes, and I definatly plan on turning her in, she is a loser, a liar, and a trouble maker, and I do not deal well with people telling false stuff about me.

I have a question: This might be an odd
thing to ask but I have proof of a pimp
and a strip club owner that are making thousands upon thousands on prostitution ,my question is Why does it seem that these pimps are above the law. The Local Vice & Narcotics squad tells me they can’t touch them. They say they bust the prostitutes and they get $100.00 fine and
are back doing the same thing the next day each one brings in$1000.00 to $2000.00 every day to there pimps plus
the pimps tape them and sell the tapes over the internet.More $$$$. Can’t yoy stop this. Thanks

The guy who owns the house next door to me also lives in a house across the street with his new wife.
He’s renting out the house next door and I don’t know if he’s reporting the rental income to the IRS or not, but I checked the county tax roll and it’s on record he’s taking a $9,920 homestead exemption in a home he is absolutely not living in.
The IRS seems to add a lot of red tape to reporting tax frauds, but my bet is the county I live in will have no trouble determining that this landlord is a county tax cheat.

I know for a fact of someone that has been cheating on his taxes (owns a business)–so badly that his accountant fired him for writing off his personal vehicles and vacations, and boat accessories as business expenses… He just got another accountant.
I called the IRS and told them everything (including the information asked for, along with phone numbers of people who knew about this and did his bookkeeping within the business, the accountant that fired him) but they said that they didn’t have the authority to do anything about it. They refused to even take the information. Witnesses were never called.
And this guy continues to cheat on his taxes. After all, why stop?
I’d have no problem turning him in… after all, I pay my fair share… I can’t afford the vacations and boats and BMW’s… but he gets away with it and gets a tax break to boot? Pshh!
I just wish the IRS would “do” something… They seem to have no interest.

I’m dating my boy friend for over 8 month.
He has a business actually he is working for his father. The business is located exactly where my boyfriend’s Land is. His father never cared about his son and makes his son work like a slave. My boyfriend been true so much with his dad and step mom, which he had to purchase this land where the business is so that they where not able to lay my boy friend off again. His father owning with this snake of wife and daughter lots of land that was giving by the grandparents, which the father was giving to. The father never had to work he is lazy and anything was giving him what he wanted from his dad. So when they died they had inherited all of the land. My boyfriend works for his dad like a slave. He turned this business 100% around to a positive way and they don’t even thanking him.
My boyfriend was living on his father’s land in a home that had no water nothing and his father did not care and then under all that they renting this home out to a person that is not related to them at all and on top of that they gave this men the car that my boyfriend sometimes is driving to this men that they don’t know. So he lost this place and I let him stay at my place. We were working on fixing up a building that is located behind the business. So that this can be rent out and so that we have money to do more.
The father on they other hand is selling all the land and is up to no good. He has never pay his personnel Tax and on the money that he made all the years actually it been 10 years and never paid tax on his personal tax and get away with that and to destroy his son. My boy friend is doing the best he can and we are praying every day that god send justice and nothing happen. I came to USA 15 years ago and I been to Hell and I do what it takes to survive with my children and all the negative influence of the cheating society that getting away with anything. Instate of that someone helping us with Child Support
and so one. I receive punishment of the other side so what is the Law in general at all.
Are we fighters against the evil. I’m fighting against the evil and I will do what it takes to get Justice and I will do God’s law and we do have faith and believing in the lord and that he will bless us.
So I asking you all do you think there is someone out there that cares about the cheaters and if there is please contact me and I will report them and hope that God will understand this that something needs to be happening before this is too late.
I hope there will be Justice

I know a couple of illegals in Chicago who have stayed and worked here for 7 years without paying a cent to the government??? They have a nasty, ruthless and very dishonest ways of doing freelance work and I am constantly surprised that they have been doing all this s..t with impunity. These people do not have SSN or they have fake ones and there is no way to report them because of it. They have brought more people like them to Chicago and they are doing the same thing…Now, I would like to report them and whithout a moment of hesitation but where and how??? All I know is they are driving fancy cars, wearing fancy clothes and living in a wealthy area of the city and all on our grat nation’s citizens tax money because sure as hell they do not pay their share!!! Read on IRS!!! It really sucks because the wasted dollar could go to the poor and otherwise hurt people of our country.

I actually have a question and I will need more information on. I know of someone who owns a hair stye salon and does make bogus claims on her business to prevent herself from paying taxes. I know this but its all over the counter. I have no paper proof or physical proof. I am not sure If I know her ssn but I do know the company she works for. Where can I go to anomouisly report this to the IRS. I am not in it for the money but I would like to have it reported to maybe they can do an audit to prevent her from doing this more. Thanks Melinda

Sorry to clarify my comment more (the computer went ahead and posted before I finished…
This person is Korean and is now a citizen, her attitude is she does not have to pay for taxes because she is a minority, she owns a small business. I have known her for a long time and I do know she has changed her name because she had creditors after her previous name.
I am a minority and wanting to start a small business myself, but cannot believe that someone can be so ruthless to lie about her business and still get away with it. I would like to know where I can report this business, or at least get it audited. Thanks Melinda

I know for a fact that someone is cheating on their taxes but all I have is there full name, they have done this for 2 years and got about 12,000 from the government i would like for you to follow up with me just e-mail and i will give you all the information i got thank you.

are you all aware of the massive tax fraud in the stock market called naked short selling and counterfeit shares?
apparently hedge funds and broker dealers short stock of companies to the point of them being bankrupt and then not filing on the profits made.

could be billions of dollars not taxed.

First, never count on receiving a reward. The IRS often fails to investigate the claim and if you file for a reward, another form is required that is sent to a different dept. The rewards dept cannot talk to the dept to whith which the initial report was made. In short, you must submit all the information and wait and wait and wait, while they deliberate and fondle the paperwork.

Regarding being a Judas, I pay all of my taxes. This does not mean that I support what they are used for, how they are apportioned, specials bills or any of the other garbage. If you are not paying your legal taxes, that is ..a thief (let’s just assume any samll cash business or extremely wealthly indidual in the US), why should I pay your tax share also. The lowliest private in Iraq is paying his taxes on his dieing wage and if he has family, they are probably on welfare in the states.

Shame on you for cheating on your taxes. While getting the IRS to do this aspect of their job is like pulling teeth, If you cheat and I find you, I guarantee that I will report you.

PS. Trying to report fraud to the IRS is easy compared to reporting mortgage fraud to the FBI or US Attorney or various state agencies. According to the FBI local office Agent in Charge, the policy 6 months ago was that mortgage fraud is not a priority.
So basically, I will continue to report you thieves, but you do not have to fret because the US government is at work.

The people accross the street own a bed and bkfst/ bought it about 8 mos ago, have very little means of income but are trying to buy up every available house on the block, drive a cadillac SUV, a BWM convertible, among othrs, seem to have endless funds, but not much income. If you wish more info please email me.
Thanks

I know someone who cheats on taxes. He is the dude that was beat up by Bruce Willis. He makes 5000 a month as a celebrity photographer and doesn’t pay taxes!

I work at a wholesale store where if you have a business and a valid state resale number you can legally purchase items without paying taxes on them if you are going to sell them at your place of business. The thing is that A LOT of the business owners will purchase things like movies, clothing, deodorant, baby diapers, and other personal items under a business name and resale number for a Chinese restaurant for example…As a cashier all I can do is ask if they plan on selling these items at their place of business and most the time they say yes, which I know is a lie because I’ve eaten at some of these restaurants and I can tell you right now deodorant and diapers are NOT on the menu. Anyhow…I was just curious what I can do to turn these fools in without jeopardizing my job. And to be honest I don’t even really care about the reward because it would be impossible for me to have documentation without taking copies of their resale cards that they sign because my job would not allow that. I’m sick and tired of watching these people get away with cheating the government.
