The other threads on this topic got me thinking. I wonder just how much unreported earned or unearned income doesn't get reported to the IRS? With government getting more repressive and invasive, is there a growing sentiment to pay as little to feed the beast as possible, even if that means subverting the law?

That's on a need to know basis, and y'all don't need to know.

Are you really expecting to get confessions from tax evaders on a public forum?



Pssssttttt......They're watching you right now. They know when you've been bad or good or taking income under the table (or they will if you tell them, silly).

Yes. Every single dollar that is due to them by law.. I found a dollar on the street last year and sent the IRS 28 cents and the State of Arizona, 9cents. No need to audit me.....do you hear? No need to audit me.
