How would you go about reporting someone that you know is running a business and paying some of her employees cash, and is not doing the social security stuff she should be?

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

You can call the Internal Revenue Service. They are listed in the Federal Government section of the white pages in your telephone book. These situations often come to light when "employees" file for unemployment benefits after termination.

Good luck!
