do NOT mention that in your re-instatement form. If you do that, then there is a 0% chance for getting reinstated. Yeta, honesty ko kunai value chaaina....problem comes, since they know it, they have to take action...if not they risk their job. I mean, come on, in one hand they might appreciate your honesty, but be realistic, why would they care about you to the extreme to risk their own jobs. It's america, my friend.
There was bill that was supposed to make sharing of information between USCIS and IRS possible. Thankfully, the bill never got passed. So don't worry about it, they don't share info. so you are good.
I had issues with re-instatment, myself. Problem was with my work, I had worked more than specified hours in the college, and somehow they made a big deal out of it. To the point, that they didn;t even let my apply for reinstatment and asked me to leave the country. Cause if you have unauthorized work, you are not eligible for reinstatement, they won't even go through rest of your application.
You know, I threw the tantrum of being honest and not working outside illegally, but working in the college, so they are aware of my hours. But this is what my advisor had to say, " You would have been better off, if you had worked off-campus, cause I would not have your information about your work. But since you worked in the college, more than specified hours, I have to take action, the info. is right there with HR". So don't even mention it to your advisor, you would only be inviting more problem to yourself.
So moral of the story is stay quiet and you are the good one, blow the trumpet of honesty, and then you are the bad one.
Hope this helps, deep.
