It is a crime to not claim illegal gains on your taxes. This is so courts can subpoena your income and taxes for evidence. If you file broadly enough you can’t be found guilty through just your taxes. So Sonic could just put “associate supplies and refreshments” and be fine. Since it’s a business expense though, he could just not file for the tax break and maintain the black market purchases as an out of pocket expense.

“You can’t put illegal purchases on your federal tax return!” is a quote I’ll be using for the rest of my life.

I noticed that he skipped over Casinopolis, and for good reason; Even if you have a bunch of Rings by the time you clear Casinopolis, not a single one will be added to your collection. This also applies to Tails and Knuckles when you play the stage as them. It's like the Rings belong to Casinopolis and you're not allowed to take them with you.

These have of course been shot down immediately by lobbyists from both tax preparation software and people who hate non-traditonal jobs.

Fun fact, the IRS actually does require you to tell them about income made from criminal activity, because that too, is taxed. Al Capone didn't disclose that information, which is how they got him. Edit to add: To clarify, the IRS doesn't require to know the exact source of the income - only that it was made. So if you were doing crime taxes, it'd be best to put it on your self-employment tax form. Furthermore, even if they do know it's crime-related, they aren't required to report you. They just want their cut, that's it (think of it as kinda like how doctors need to know if you take specific illegal drugs - they won't report you to the cops with that info alone, they just need to know so they can administer the correct care). Those reasons are why it's not a 5th amendment violation. Basically you only screw yourself if you're trying to cover it up (money laundering/tax evasion).

Unless you are a corporation big enough, in which case you can do whatever the fuck you want. So Sonic should just make a startup get big and then do what he was doing before.

Gold rings would be classified as "found money/treasure". Because nobody gave these rings to Sonic, there would be no payer to issue a 1099, but the rings, which count as currency, would still be reported as Other Income on the 1040. Unfortunately, one can't deduct self-employment expenses for found income. In other words: Eggman's off the hook and Sonic will rot in jail!

They are powerful... except against the rich. Technically there's more money in going after rich citizens who casually cheat their taxes and even write it so it's actually the IRS who owes them money. Realistically, doing that will cost much more than it's worth and it's easier to squeeze the poor out of every penny they own. Not calling this excusable btw, just an explanation on the IRS's "power" and likely any other government with a similar system. Yay capitalism.

My headcanon: in the "canon" version of that stage, Sonic just barely avoids slamming into cars at all, making somehow almost TAS-tier turns not because he cares, because he's just naturally that fast. That leaves the GUN truck as the main culprit for most of the vehicular manslaughter, and we know GUN is exempt from those as long as it helps them catch a supposed worse criminal (even assuming Sonic did somehow manage not to hit anyone; he was still being framed, remember?).
