Tax Evasion
Tax evasion.
It was actually his idea. Capone turned himself in to Chicago police on a concealed-weapons charge, as an ultimate way to avoid a "hit" by rival gangsters. He expected to be released after things settled down, but the Federal government seized the opportunity (since Capone was already in custody, and could be extradited) to launch an income tax evasion case against him. He was convicted in 1922, and sent to prison.

You can certainly report someone for tax evasion or tax fraud, and the IRS might even pay you a portion of the taxes they collect from the offender as a reward. There is a special form used to report tax evasion and tax fraud to the IRS: Form 3949a, "Information Referral".
Once someone is found guilty of tax evasion some of the penalties associated with this crime range from being fined to jail time. The IRS and the CID are responsible for enforcing penalties associated with tax evasion.
"Detecting" tax evasion can be a hard thing to do if you don't have the legal rights of a private investigator for instance. At any rate, tax evasion is not "detected" in the sense that there are certain behaviors to look for, evaders are caught.
