Can you get away without paying tax for cash in hand jobs?

Haha... Your question threw me off... Cash in... hand jobs...

Anyway, um, yeah, lots of people work under the table and don't report it. It's very common. You can get into trouble but I've never known anyone who has. Just remember that it also means that a) you are doing something illegal, b) if you're American, you're not adding to your social security worth, meaning, less benefits to survivors if you die, etc., c) if you are laid off, you cannot claim that income in an unemployment claim... I'm sure there are more downsides I'm not thinking of.

I wouldn't report the person. What's the point of that? Yeah, it doesn't feel "fair" but there are a lot of worse things going on around you, I'm sure.

Jobs That Pay Cash In Hand

On your tax return you must report all your income.

If you are getting cash in hand that is not as regular employee, then this is self employed income. You must file tax return if income is $400 or more.

If you do not report this income, you can get into trouble with IRS even after couple of years. Suppose the employer is audited, and then the employer reveals that they paid you in cash.

Can you do it? Sure.

Is it legal? NO

Can you get caught, and are there consequences for getting caught? Yes.

If this is just small money, few side jobs, is IRS likely to find out? No

If you make more than $400 cash work are you required to file tax return? YES

Can you report some one else to the IRS? Yes

Is it bad to report some one else to IRS? No

Sometimes you can get away with it, but it's illegal. And if and when you get caught, you owe not only the tax but some serious penalties. It's possible to also be prosecuted and get prison time.

It's illegal and if the government finds out you'll have to pay penalties and the taxes, I don't think it's worth it if they find out. I have known someone who's gotten in deep sh!t with the tax people, you don't want them as your enemies.

I would say it's an emergency just so I can get you to read this... but does that make it an emergency? Because there is a sense of urgency there, no?

but seriously take about 20 min of your time to do some good reading, I'd like to talk to people about what they think not only on the paper but on the topic itself. (it is slightly abstract).

Money you get for hand jobs is taxed as ordinary income.

I also asked this same question 2 times, and haven't gotten a proper answer
