The IRS actually has a field for reporting illegal income. Tax evasion is a separate crime which often leads to criminals establishing or gaining a stake in legal business which they'll use to run their money through and pay taxes. Famously, Al Capone actually went to prison for tax evasion rather than for his other crimes.
