Unless you always pay by a non traceable money order and have it shipped
to a different name and address than you file your taxes under then you
better put it down.
 
Checks and credit cards leave a paper trail that your state IRS can
easily follow. All they need to do is go to any of the big mail order
houses and obtain a list of customers from your state. If you received
anything during a year that you declared nothing on you taxes then it's
time for a closer look at your return.

Recently the police in Seattle announced that they were investagating  a
certain man in connection with the "Green River" serial killings. They
were able to obtain his credit card records that were eight years old
and used that information to show that he was in the area for all of the
killings.  That information exists for everyone if they take the time
to retrieve it. With computers its getting easier and easier.
