Could you please elaborate on how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) would typically become aware of an individual's sale of gold, and what measures they might take to ensure that any relevant taxes are being accurately reported and paid? Are there specific forms or reporting requirements that sellers of gold need to adhere to in order to comply with tax laws? Furthermore, what are the potential consequences for failing to properly disclose and pay taxes on gold sales?
