Thank you for the additional information.

I honestly don't know if the IRS could, or likely would, do this, but as Scott/Aquarian mentioned earlier, he has to keep the records of consignors sales available for quite a few years. So if some tax authority comes in asking for it, guess what, he's going to have to give them the info.
Now how do you think Leon (Hi Leon!) would like or appreciate it if one day an IRS agent shows up on his doorstep asking for names and contact info of people posting on here about not reporting and paying their taxes from cards they are selling? And yes, I know, you can make the poll anonymous, but there always seems to be a few people who will post on threads like that and go into the "what" and "why" they responded to the poll as they did. My warning is probably more so for them.
And even if we do the poll and people do come right out and say that they are in fact not reporting income and paying all their taxes, the chances of the IRS coming on here and following up to go after them is almost nil. But still, I liken posting that you're cheating on your taxes on a public forum to being a January 6 "capitol rioter" posting selfies of themself in Nancy Pelosi's office online. See where I'm going on this? Why take even an infinitisimally small chance on getting in trouble for something you don't have to do. I'm just playing Jiminy Crickett here, and trying to be helpful.
