It depends on the size of the discrepancy and the strength of the IRS audit criteria, but you could potentially get away with significantly underreporting your income, such as by a few thousands dollars. Underreporting to that extent without any sort of deliberate intent to defraud would make it difficult for the IRS to pursue legal action against you.

It is generally recommended not to attempt to underreport taxes as the penalty for getting caught can be severe. Depending on the magnitude of the discrepancy, penalties can range from interest charges to criminal prosecution. Therefore, it is best to always report your taxes accurately and truthfully in order to avoid any unwanted consequences.
