Does Ledger report to the IRS?

It's unlikely Ledger reports to the IRS currently. As a hardware wallet device provider, Ledger isn't a top priority for the IRS. In fact, many users simply use their Ledger wallets to store long-term hodls, which is tax free. Ledger does not collect KYC data on customers and isn't yet required to (though this could change soon with the new IRS guidance on crypto regulation).
