Slavery In Aviation

If the place where I work is telling me to work hour's for free, what
should I do ?

Depends.

I am worried that working for free is illegal, immoral, unethical, and
unprofessional, and I am also worried that it exposes me to the possibility
of an IRS audit as I could be accused of getting paid "under the table"
(tax evasion etc.).

You left out "fattening" *g*

1) why are you instructing? if your primary motivation is to
build a lot of hours while someone else is paying for the plane
and you're getting paid (something), are you fulfilling your
motivation? Could you do so better somewhere else?
2) what is your employer wanting you to do "for free" and when?
3) was this explained to you when you took the job?

Oh, and last but not least: are you free to walk out the door
and take another job, or aren't you? There are plenty of slaves
in the world today. Usually people who are stolen from their
homes at gunpoint or children who are sold by desperately impoverished
parents, and forced to work under threat of physical harm under
whatever living conditions and hours their "owner" cares to
impose with no choice practically available to them.

It's horrible.

And somehow I doubt it applies to you.
