I'd be willing to bet that everyone who works for cash cheats their taxes.
But not as much as millionaires do.
I have always wondered. Can you ask a receipt for a tip you pay in cash and then collect those and send to IRS? Like proper good citizen should?
No idea. I don't live in the States.
I imagine no one would ever give a receipt for a tip though.
They actually have something like this in other countries. I can't recall exactly how it works, but it's something like store sells younsomething, you get the receipt, and then it's somehow incentived so that people send their receipts into the government, so people actually do it and then you have a second party that basically reports sales to the government.
Odds are good that every person I've ever tipped is a tax cheat.
