Times have been tough in our business so I've been praying about it and I felt like God put it in my heart to be honest about the money I make as far as the IRS is concerned, we receive allot of cash. Yesterday three of the girls I work with who are good Christian where talking about this, so I a became confused is God telling me its ok, that would be nice, or is he testing me?

It is not real clear what you are asking. It appears if you are asking if it is OK to cheat on your taxes or lie to the IRS. My answer is, no it is not OK legally or morally.

Our responsibility(as citizens or aliens)is to pay the tax assessed. The assessors responsibility is to collect them and use them for the administration of justice, compassion and charity. Romans 12:18-"If possible, so far as it depends on you, 19 never take your own vengeance for your vengeance can’t be satisfied but leave that for the wrath of God for He says, "[My]justice is sure and quick when it comes for the risk is their own." 20 By showing mercy, all men will know where your sacrifice lies 21 and make a clear distinction where your obedience rests. 13:1 So, in the same obedience, be subject to authority for there’s no authority granted which isn’t established by God[as was Pharaoh’s to show where his allegiance lie]. 2 Therefore, whoever resists [even Pharaoh’s] authority opposes the ordinance of God[in arrogance] and will suffer Pharaoh’s wrath upon themselves. 3 Authority is not to cause fear of evil but to urge obedience in righteousness."
