Reply to comment by xCreamPye69 in ELI5: Why does the IRS want your illegal income declared on tax returns? by xCreamPye69
There's a lot of laws surrounding privacy for the IRS - they cannot just report you to other agencies. There was an exception put in for terrorism back, I think, in the Patriot Act, but in general, why would the IRS care? It's not like the DEA is going to pay them for tipping them off.
