<prompt> Human: So I have a friend and shes pretty stubborn and has a care free attitude. She is a stripper and she does not receive a 1099 and is paid entirely under the table. As far as I know, the club doesnt have her social security number and very limited info on her. I estimate she makes at least 30 or 40k a year she does it pretty much part time. She only has a car to her name paid off and lives with her boyfriend he owns the house, she lives there for free and pays no bills. So anyways, she hasnt paid taxes in the last 3 years she would owe as she is paid all in cash. She seems to think the IRS will never find out. She says she will never need any loans, credit cards or own a home. I told her shes an idiot, but she doesnt care. She seems to think shes off the grid that she can just keep getting paid in cash and never paying a dime in taxes. I believe she has a savings account with about 8000 in it, and a modest checking account. She pays for everything else in cash. She has a cell phone bill, pays for car insurance and health insurance. My question is, can she continue to get away with this? How would the IRS find out? She is 27 and she just held random part time jobs until 4 years ago and lived with her mom. Now shes just out on her own and not paying any taxes.EDIT: Found out she does not receive a paper 1099, is entirely paid under the table, and the club has very limited info on her. She has not received any notices from the IRS at this point.  <response>: She might get away with it, she might not. Strip clubs arent known for their exemplary record-keeping, which could work in her favor or not. I told her shes an idiot, but she doesnt care. Well you did all you could. Shes making a lot of bad decisions and you cant fix that.
