In case you want to report Suspected Tax Fraud Activity. Just in case, people forget to report money collected for donations to a Non-registered Charity, like Naoto Matsumura.

How Do You Report Suspected Tax Fraud Activity?

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:

Internal Revenue Service
Fresno, CA 93888

If you do not wish to use Form 3949-A, you may send a letter to the address above. Please include the following information, if available:

  • Name and address of the person you are reporting
  • The taxpayer identification number (social security number for an individual or employer identification number for a business)
  • A brief description of the alleged violation, including how you became aware of or obtained the information
  • The years involved
  • The estimated dollar amount of any unreported income
  • Your name, address and daytime telephone number

Although you are not required to identify yourself, it is helpful to do so. Your identity can be kept confidential.

Do you think that the money collected for donations and given to unregistered charities falls into the category of “other sources of income” and that makes you responsible to pay the taxes on the money?  I wonder if there are any penalties involved.  How many other Chip-ins collected by other Facebook pages for other Non-registered Japanese people or charities went unreported?
