If the IRS asked for records or sources of the income, I would guess you can legally not answer those requests by pleading the 5th. Of course that would be a big red flag...

No, the IRS actually defends people if their tax information is used against them to prevent people from pleading the 5th.
In theory. In actuality I think you could make a reasonable argument that the suspicion of parallel construction means that you may plead the 5th.
