How will this be difficult to fake?
Very easy, but it'd be tax evasion which is a serious crime.
Most taxes are pretty trivial to evade if you put some thought in to it. Very few people bother because the reward doesn't outweigh the risk. Saving a few tens of thousands of dollars a year isn't worthwhile if the penalty for being found out is losing everything you saved and years in prison. It's actually one of the few places in criminal law where the penalty actually works as a deterrent.
