<prompt> Human: So basically I grew for a collective this year. Didnt have a w2 because cannabis was illegal as a business, unless you went through a ton of hoops. Anyways, regarding taxes what do i file? I didnt put anything in my bank, quit my work last year for school Was enrolled at local junior college . Fast forward a year and Im enrolled again. Taxes are here what do i claim? I dont live with My parents and they dont support me  <response>: There is a line item on the 1040 to claim illegal income.no... seriously... there is.though the only people that typically use it are those that are already being charged with the crime or believe they will be charged, so they avoid a 2nd charge of tax fraud.Officially speaking, tax returns are confidential, the information is not shared with outside parties unless they initiate a request with a court order Ill let you choose to believe that or not. however the IRS could use this as a reason to initiate an audit in order to learn what other parties there were who provided you this income, to see if they were equally honest on their returns.the alternative... not reporting the income... is not something we are supposed to discuss on this sub due to rule 7. You may want to seek info about this elsewhere.
