其实,这个挺好的。 加州的法律对小案件无计可施,但如果你故意将盗窃收入不报税,根据IRC § 7201, any person who willfully attempts to evade or defeat taxes can be charged with a felony, with penalties including up to $100,000 in fines ($500,000 in the case of a corporation), up to five years in prison, and the costs of prosecution. 而且这个是federal crime. 当然,IRS也没有那个兴趣去对这些小偷小摸做调查,但这个往往可以成为一个当地警方的工具,可以用来和嫌疑人做deal。不过如果嫌疑人有个好律师的话,这个工具一点用都没有。
具体来说,这个要求是违反美国宪法5th amendment的,不能让人自证其罪。报税的时候可以claim 5th,可以只交税不写来源,2015年的福布斯的文章可以看看
