I earned a bunch of money working for my neighbor and he paid me in all cash.  What can I do to avoid having to pay taxes on that income?

In the United States, it is required by law that all individuals report their earned income and pay taxes on it, no matter the form of payment. There are no legitimate ways around this fact. To ensure that you properly declare and pay the necessary taxes on this income, you should file a federal income tax return. In addition, you may be eligible to claim a refund of certain taxes, such as the earned income credit, or to reduced certain other taxes, such as Social Security taxes, by filing a return. Please consult a tax professional for more advice.
