WWYD: A poll!
Hypothetically speaking, if you knew someone was cheating on their taxes by doing working under the table, not reporting income, and therefore not paying taxes on that income would you, could you, should you report them to the IRS?[Poll]

see thats my thing. this person claims they are in debt and may even use their lack of reportable income in order to get out of some of the debt which i think is unfair and technically fraud.
It sounds like this particular person should be reported, if this is their sole source of income. Doesn't matter if you're in debt or not, that's the person's problem to deal with. Taxes exist for a reason, as much as they suck. I suppose if it was one of my good friends though, I'd feel guilty about it but probably wouldn't say anything.
It's different if you take a side job and are getting paid under the table or something and it's not a gigantic amount. I also know plenty of people who've had second jobs where the basic income was taxed but they received cash bonuses that weren't reported. If I had a second job like that, I wouldn't report my bonus either. I think everyone is like that though and I don't think that's a big deal. Straight up tax evasion on your real income though is a crime, and it pisses me off ESPECIALLY if you are, as Mary said, claiming disability, unemployment or accepting government handouts.
Ugh... I know someone who is very guilty of this, (well, her husband, really)... and unfortunately, they have a family. I wouldn't report them just because of that... but I know for a fact, that pretty soon, their actions are going to bite them in the butt very soon.

I'm a special snowflake.
I would probably report on a case by case basis. I agree with Mary and her situation example, and if it was a full-time daily job, I'd probably report.
HOWEVER...when in college, I worked under the table at a local restaurant. They had some sort of tax thing (because the business was so small or something--I don't know tax law) that they paid a set amount of taxes per employee (there were literally ten of us and none full time) but we, individually, were not taxed. So technically speaking I was being paid under the table. It really would have sucked if someone reported me, because I made probably $400 a month and it all went to my bills (phone, car insurance, and school)...I would have owed the IRS a bunch of money that I didn't have (I barely had any spending money) after the year and a half I worked there. That kind of situation I wouldn't report (if it were someone else).
So, special snowflake I am.
No? Why?
the person im referring to isnt on disability. and i actually know this persons name and address to report them.
even if SW2B admitted to working and not paying taxes while being on disability, you'd need that information to formally report her.
