Is it tax fraud for an individual to declare non-taxable revenue as taxable income? (US tax laws)
Hypothetically, A wants to pay B a considerable amount of money.
In order to reduce the paper trail, A pays me the money and I transfer it to B.
To further obscure the paper trail, I declare the payment from A as income for work (non-existent) done by me for A, enter it on my US Income Tax return as taxable income, and pay the resulting tax.
I have submitted a false tax return, but it leads to an increase in tax paid. Is it still a crime?
