Can a 17 year old file income taxes and claim his sister and disabled mother?

Generally no, unless the 17 year old is earning a great deal of income (i.e. actor). Usually a minor is not making enough money to support a sibling and/or parent. The parent is usually getting income from other sources (Social Security benefits, welfare, child support, etc), so they don't qualify as the child's dependent because they are providing more than half of their own support through these other funds. Often, the same goes for claiming the sister, who would be mostly supported by those same funds the parent is receiving. Since there are different rules for claiming a sibling versus a parent, I suggest reading IRS Publication 501 first. Then see a tax professional if you think she qualifies as her brother's dependent.


How to get someone audited?

Well, it isn't easy. The IRS (and other tax authoprities) really try to not be part of someones vengence. Its aware of it's position and that many people would lie, or do anything they could, to sic them on another. That said...all tax collection agencies, like just about any department charged with enforcing laws, will act on information provided by third parties about wrongdoings. You just have to be willing to provide some specific detail and substantiation. Hearsay ain't going to cut it. Of course, if you were involved in the others wrongdoing like getting paid under the table)...you could expose yourself too.
