How can I report an individual who has a crafting company out of their home without a vendor's license and is not paying taxes? She uses PayPal and debit to charge her customers so there is a pattern of her selling the crafts.

As to a vendor's license, they may have one posted in their house that no one knows about as there can be legitimate 'home' businesses in a residential neighborhood. Of course, there are rules that have to be followed but home businesses can be legitimate.
