Yes. And in some places where it is not legal, too. The tax people take the view that if you are earning, you pay tax. They leave non-tax law to others. In principle, legal prostitutes have to obey all other laws as well. In Holland, it was claimed that workplace regulations required brothels to have separate male and female changing rooms.

Actually even though it is illegal here (except in certain cities in Nevada), prostitutes are supposed to fill out tax returns here as well. If you read the code (IRS code) it does say that you need to pay income taxes on ALL income whether by legal or illegal sources. Can you see that on the self-employment line when it asks what type of business you offer??!
