4. Stolen Property

If you staged an at-heist last year, embezzled money, or robbed a bank, you’ll get taxed on the proceeds. In other words, income from criminal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, is taxable and must be included in your income. Bribes are also taxed.

That’s what happened to well-known gangster Al Capone, who was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. According to the IRS, he never filed a tax return.
