Apparently you missed the article in the April issue of the Village Homeowners Association newsletter, The Villages Voice. It covered exactly this subject and told you how to avoid problems. A direct link to the article is:

if you want to go back and review it.
As for the IRS, think about this. They can't get a major oil company making billions to pay ANY taxes. Will they really be interested in and aggressively putsue a "mom 'n pop" lawn care operation that got maybe a few thousand dollars last year without paying taxes?
If law enforcement is not interested (and sometimes their hands are tied if it is a civil dispute or a contract issue) then maybe you ought to consider small claims court. It sounds like you have all the info necessary to file a case.
Good luck. I hate to see the "bad guys" get away with anything. Also happy to see another "Blue Collar Comedy" fan around - here's your sign. I love those guys!
