According to IRS Publication 525, taxpayers are legally required to report the value of whatever property they stole during the tax year.

"If you steal property, you must report its FMV (Fair Market Value) in your income in the year you steal it, unless in the same year you return it to its rightful owner," the rule reads.

The same rule applies to bribery, drug deals and other income-earning crimes.

Fifth Amendment problem. You cannot be compelled to be a witness against yourself.

There is a special provision for bookies to report their income but it cannot be used against them. This came out of a ruling in a Supreme Court case.

The concern is that the information could be used against the bookmaker in a non-tax criminal proceeding. The IRS recognizes the concerns of illegal bookmakers and in order to entice them to comply, the IRS claims it will not share the information it receives with any law enforcement agencies, other than for tax purposes.​

Are You Feeling Lucky? IRS Taxes on Wagers and Bookmakers

These days it seems like the government taxes everything it can. While it is debatable whether or not that is true, there are a number of "hidden" taxes of which many taxpayers are unaware. Taxes on wagers and occupational taxes on bookmakers are a couple of those "hidden" taxes. Although the...

This could get a bit tricky; California says if a single theft is under $950 it's not a crime. So does that mean it doesn't need to be reported?

Crooks should be forced to be honest about what they steal and how much it was worth. There's nothing worse than a dishonest criminal.
