The Internal Revenue Service’s request (IRS) that taxpayers report any income they might have received through illegal activities such as dealing drugs has gone viral on social media, with users joking about the unlikely demand.
“Don’t forget to report your income from illegal activities and stolen property as you’re doing your taxes this year,” one social media user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, sharing the IRS 2023 documentation for preparing 2023 returns. The post received over 6.8 million views.
