How does background check check your under the table employment?

I was in banking and got laid off last year and was offered an under the table job for a family fund where they pay me cash directly. It’s been months and I want to go back to look for a corporate job.

Can I put my under-the-table employment on my resume? Will I pass the background check? I don’t want to have a huge gap on my resume.

I saw people online said the background check doesn’t involve IRS Tax and stuff. They would only call my previous employer to confirm the date.

Can anyone share some thoughts on this topic?
