how to report fraud?
reporting a deadbeat dad working off the books
I would like to report my husbands co-worker for fraud. He claims he does not work and there fore can not pay child support for his two kids. His ex-wife is barely getting by and because of him she and her kids had to go on food stamps and gov’t health insurance. He brings home alomst ,100 a week off the books. He is working for his uncle(the same place my husband works). I think it is horrible what he is doing to his children, and that my taxes have to support his kids when he is able to. My question is if I call the phone number to report him, will they be able to track me by my phone number and will i be talking to a real person or a voice recording. I want to help his wife and kids but if his uncle (the boss) finds out my husband will lose his job and we can not afford that.

Hope you and your ex-husband can get back together. There are very few deadbeat Dads. Over 95% are more than willing to pay child support if they get visitation with their children. Also, remember, if the above is true, you husband has to send in estimated tax to the IRS and pay social security if he is ruled self-employed and receiving 1099s instead of W-2s. Complete an IRS Form SS-8 to get an official ruling on your status. This will help you get unemployment if you get fired. When you file your income tax return, you can attach Form 8919 Uncollected Social Security and Medicare Tax on Wages and only pay the employee’s half of social security. You will still have to cough up all the income tax. IRS and the states are stepping up enforcement as there is severe abuse.

A better question is how many employees does your husbands employer have working off the books. The higher the potential yield, the higher the IRS interest. Informant’s identities are confidential so you don’t have to worry about being traced that way. Someone might suspect but that is all they can do. To deal with the child support problem, the District Attorney Family Support Office should be informed of what is going ton and let it investigate.
