CBS Sunday Morning on April 15, 2012
Charles Osgood introduced the stories for April 15, 2012. In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes. And one should add, fudging on taxes. Rebecca Jarvis does the cover story on tax evasion. "Our Cheating Ways." Mo Rocca does Fenway Park. A diamond is forever.

Jarvis: what's worse: fudging taxes or stealing (shoplifting)? David DeSteno, pscychologist. Example of flipping virtual coin. People flipped coin until got a favorable answer. Issue of moral hypocrites. Francesca Jena tested changing location of signature line. People less likely to cheat if signature line at top of form. David Callahan says IRS needs bigger budget.
