'Cheating' is not really used in law terminology. 'Cheating on taxes' is a term often heard, but the IRS refers to it as fraud or tax evasion. 'Cheating' is often used, not by the legal community, to refer to adultry. Fraud is the use of deception, including lies, to better one's position. Legal.com defines fraud as the intentional use of deceit, a trick or some dishonest means to deprive another of his/her/its money, property or a legal right.
