How do I rat on my ex-wife for cheating on taxes?

From the Sun's Consuming Interests blog and Eileen Ambrose's live tax chat, a reader question:

Q. I divorced my ex-wife in November 2008. She purchased a home in February 2009. I kept our original house that we purchased together (I had to pay her $90K for the buyout). Turns out she collected the $8000 first-time homebuyer’s credit when she wasn’t even eligible. How do I turn her in to the IRS and remain anonymous?

Nice guy. The answer is here.
