Funnily enough, the IRS DOES tax stolen and/or laundered income.
"Income from illegal activities, such as money from dealing illegal drugs, must be included in your income on Form 1040, line 21, or on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ (Form 1040) if from your self-employment activity."
People who suspect they're about to be audited and/or arrested and who have made money illegally (such as embezzlement) will sometimes list illegal income to not add on more prison time for tax evasion if they're found guilty.
Remember that Al Capone didn't get put in prison for selling booze during Prohibition or ordering his goons to kill people and such. It was for not paying tax on the money he earned illegally.
