You are not wrong about the requirement to file taxes. I thought so too because of Al Capone, and verified it last night. It's in the instructions for shedule c. I am not sure whether the taxpayer has immunity. But I took a good hard look through the irs site for discussions of illegal income and they don't seem interested in crimes other than money laundering and tax evasion. Those, a tax preparer is supposed to report. Otherwise, everything said to a tax preparer is confidential and it's a misdemeanor to divulge it. Now misdemeanor vs human trafficking well... if you thought you were helping the right thing to do might be to report the conversation anyway... but I am just saying.
