While Uncle Sam demands a portion of law-abiding Americans' hard-earned money in taxes each year, even criminals are supposed to report their earnings to the U.S. government, according to the Internal Revenue Service.
The government agency literally spells it out, saying that drug dealers must report their ill-gotten gains and thieves must report the value of purloined items, unless those items are returned during the same year they were taken.
"If you steal property, you must report its fair market value in your income in the year you steal it unless you return it to its rightful owner in the same year," according to the government agency.
