This is how they got Al Capone for tax evasion when other charges wouldn't stick. He didn't pay taxes on illegal income.

My understanding of it is that, in theory at least, Capone could have paid those taxes without admitting the illegality.

Along with bribes and all other normal things you totally want to tell the government
