The two organizations on earth that you absolutely do not mess around with.

You joke, but funny enough that is indeed the official stance from the IRS: https://www.irs.gov/publications/p525#en_US_2023_publink1000...
"Illegal activities. Income from illegal activities, such as
money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your
income on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z, or on Schedule C
(Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity."Or to disguise the illegal activity as a "separate business". I insufficiently remember cases in Europe where "Consulting services" were provided. Consulting services would be an easy one. I'd say too easy by now, for a politician.
Do they? I wouldn't be so sure of the privacy firewall between the IRS and the rest of government, even if IRS is a very special org.
Not with a line item on their 1040, but through indirect means. It's essentially the entire point of RICO: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Cor...
