I don't know anything about your tax system... but I doubt a hitman can pay taxes and write down he got it by killing people. Can you explain that a little more? In most countries in Europe if you got money, they come and ask you where did you get it? And if they find out the money is from criminal activities, you are screwed. They take all money not just the taxes. I really doubt that in USA is any different.

(Of course I know that playing poker is not problematic, but the point of my post is a something else.)

Actually it works pretty much exactly like that. Heck, in many states you are 'required' to get tax stamps for your drugs if you are a drug dealer.

You don't get arrested for what you put down when you file your taxes, however, NOT paying taxing on illegally gained money is a popular way to prosecute criminals when there isn't enough evidence to put them away on their crimes.
