Are previous cash in hand jobs required to be reported in future employment applications (taxed jobs) for legal US residents?

they are legal to work and to get paid but the lack of reporting the income or wages to the IRS is where the problem lies

If you did not report it on your taxes, then technically it never happened as far as this question is concerned.
No record, no money. Now, if you did a $100,000 cash in hand job and put it all in your bank account... then had to report earnings on that money, and on top of that you didn't report it... the fed's may get a little antsy about that. Audit time!
Bottom line, put it on there if you want, but technically it never happened unless you reported (or will report) it on your taxes. Unless the experience really really really helps you to get the job you're applying for, I'd leave it out.

How the person is paid makes no difference, as long as the person paid taxes on their income.
It's up to you if you list it on future applications. They *may* contact the previous employer to confirm employment. I'd list anything that explains gaps in employment or things like that. If you simply mowed someone's lawn once a week for two months, that would be completely up to you.
However, blatently lying on an employment application could be considered fraud and if you are discovered, you can be fired and sued to recover money spent on you for training, etc.

You should not lie on an employment application, but they can't see if you've claimed the money on your tax return or not, so it doesn't matter if it was a cash job.
It is legal to work for cash as long as you claim it on your tax return at the end of the year.

The law does not require you to do anything on an application unless it is related to government employment. Or, requires some form of legal oath.
It is irrelevant how you get paid so far as claiming prior employment.

of course your suppose to claim it on your taxes at the end of the year but with cash in hand there is no paperwork on it so the government will never find out.

Well when you work for cash, you or your employer are suppose to file a 1099 form to the IRS.

Well, you are a citizen of Bangladesh, therefore you need a visa. You can obtain it here, in US, in the nearest Embassy of Italy. Your green card will ease the process of obtaining the Italian visa. However, the re-entry permit, you will need to obtain through the American embassy in Italy, if you stay out for more than a year. You still need to pay your taxes in America for that year. ;)

We do not report to anyone except the IRS. Cash jobs are legal, as long as you report the income to the IRS and pay taxes on it! (I)nternal (R)evenue (S)ervice

Yes you are supposed to report them on your taxes but I'd say if the person paying you isn't reporting it on their taxes, I'd not worry about it.
