Hypothetically, A wants to pay B a considerable amount of money.



In order to reduce the paper trail, A pays me the money and I transfer it to B.



To further obscure the paper trail, I declare the payment from A as income for work (non-existent) done by me for A, enter it on my US Income Tax return as taxable income, and pay the resulting tax.



I have submitted a false tax return, but it leads to an increase in tax paid. Is it still a crime?

The primary crime that you have described is called money laundering.



There are also multiple tax related crimes that could be implicated, not all of which require that taxes due by the person charged by reduced. See, e.g., Conspiracy to Defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371); Attempts To Interfere With Administration of Internal Revenue Laws (I.R.C. § 7212); Fraudulent Returns, Statements or Other Documents (I.R.C. § 7207); Identity Theft (18 U.S.C. § 1028(a)(7)), etc.
