yipe.. that is best way.. also when u make a complain to the irs, make sure your tax records are fine. the $$ u made of the restaurant, make sure you tell the irs that u will pay taxes on those income as well. just that the business did not want to give u a w-2, and hired you without a w-4 and w-9. another thing u can do is contact your local television station or newspaper. all they need is a letter to the editor from you, adn you can tell them, that u want to stay anonymous and that u were former employee. then they will go after them. u know they are always after things like this. at least in denver, they do.
