We don't care, just pay your taxes...

Makes sense considering taxation itself is effectively theft.
This is what the IRS has always done.
It's supposed to share this information to other federal law enforcement... but there's been a distinct lack of that from all the illegals filling out their 1040-NR's, even though, in all likelihood, their employers are committing payroll fraud.
100%. They're the reason people can come over at all.
Absolutely. The largest determining factor of migration isn't even enforcement, it's economics. They keep building corporate plantations, bribing local governments, making 'trade' deals with socialist governments in central and south america to import people form those countries (which reduces the burden on the socialist welfare system) and gets them low cost labor.
Start hitting employers with prison sentences and suddenly illegal trafficking will go down.
Now, in fairness, you need to balance that out with allowing for lower wages instead of mandatory healthcare and shit so that people can just get those jobs at a competitive rate, and move on from there.
I used to hand out w-2's to the migrant workers and I would find them all in the trash and in the parking lot.
That's the other part of that equation, they can just chose not to pay taxes, which means the companies themselves couldn't be held accountable for hiring illegals (assuming they are required to pass anyone through that database which checks for citizenship & residency status by state law).
Yep, Uncle Sam is the biggest mob boss of them all. He only cares about getting his cut.
Not a prank, those lines are actually in the publication.

A way of using the tax code against otherwise untouchable criminals. Think of it as hate crime clause, they do this to expand upon the penalty of the one crime they can convict upon, tax fraud.
I'm baffled. They want you to report income... So they can tax you on your illegal activities?
But no one doing those illegal activities are ever going to admit it. They're not exactly going to write "Sold crack:$450, stole $35" and the "smarter" ones who think to report it as a gift, get investigated. The "bigbrain" ones who report it as anything else still get investigated and get fraud thrown on top.
Bahahaha that's fucking hilarious...
Sorry, but that absolutely would not fly in Aus. Not "officially", anyway...
It IS, however, patently absurd. It really is...
This was always kind of true. It's up to the police to bust you for your illegal activities. They'll just bust you for not paying your taxes, a la Al Capone. Remember, it wasn't the illegal booze, or all the murders that got him. It was taxes.
Same goes for, say, grow ops back when weed was illegal. I knew guys who grew all the weed they could, but made sure to pay their power bill, and didn't steal. As long as their bill was paid up, no matter how large, no one cared. Especially if you're on a rural property.
Contrasted with the idiot who was rolling along fine until he decided to get drunk one morning and get on the horn with his power company over a discrepancy in his bill. So they send out guys who find a hookup that isn't theirs headed towards the attic .....
Want to get away with shit? Pay your bills, keep your head down, and never talk, just do what you're doing to do and that's it.
'Give me my cut'.
Wait is this real?

Ctrl-F. You'll find the lines are there.
Stupid pieces of shit...
Why would you? If you're just getting rid of crap in your house, you're likely selling at a loss. It's the same as a garage sale.
If you're talking about flipping clothes or Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, that's something else entirely. That would actually count as income or capital gains. Ironically, an IRS agent got hammered for the former.
Ebay sends 1099-K forms to the IRS for anyone that pass $10,000 in sales or 200 transactions, thresholds that an Ebay business would easily pass.
That said, starting in 2022 it's $600 regardless of transactions. Selling on Ebay is now a bigger pain in the ass.
