Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Not sure what this falls under however I have a question. I know of a couple been together for 20 years in NEW YORK STATE married but the wife kept her maiden name and the husband his surname. Now the husband has big reputable business's and files his taxes accordingly. The wife however decided to open a wedding planning business some 6 to 7 years ago. It has been doing well and generating income through paypal and checks. When she needs to take credit cards she would take them through the husbands business merchant account. She tells everyone that her name is (first name) husbands last name for clout but her identification is her maiden name. She uses this in all of her websites and speaking to clients. She does not have a tax id of her own nor pay business taxes. Now I am assuming she is guilty of tax evasion but what else as it is a business that is generated by a blog site and does not pay its own taxes. Kind of free income. Now the use of not her legit name on business transactions and blogs and domains ' operating a business ' constitute fraud as well? Also is the husband guilty of money laundering or some sort of violation by charging credit cards through his business machine and giving her the money? Also if this is all true how do you go about reporting this and to whom and possibly annonymously.
