A study by the IRS Oversight Board revealed that 87 percent of taxpayers believe that it is not at all acceptable to cheat on your income taxes, an increase of 3 percentage points from a year ago. In addition, just 11 percent think it's OK to cheat — a little here and there, or as much as possible — the lowest level in the study's 11-year history.
For more than 90 percent of those surveyed, personal integrity influenced their decision on whether to report and pay their taxes honestly.
"The overwhelming majority of American taxpayers play by the rules and expect everyone else to do the same," said Paul Cherecwich Jr., IRS Oversight Board chairman. "They don’t tolerate cheating by taxpayers regardless of income, and 96 percent of those surveyed agreed that it was every American’s civic duty to pay his or her fair share of taxes."
Overall, the study found that U.S. taxpayers' satisfaction with their interactions with the IRS remained unchanged from last year, with 76 percent reporting they were at least somewhat satisfied with the service they received.
This article points up how 'out of touch' the views of some posters on this board are, compared with the rest of America.

So you expect people to admit to tax fraud, shows how out of touch you are, now lets ask people if they believe they should pay less taxes, I'm sure you would be the minority of that group

If less taxes are needed, then we all would like to get a tax cut... but, unlike some on this board, the majority of Americans believe that everyone should pay their taxes... and not cheat on their taxes.
I have no problem paying my share of taxes. I DO have a problem paying more taxes because tax cheats avoid theirs... and most of America agrees.

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
