Should I put my employment history on my I 765 and 325a?

I am applying for permanent residency. I have worked in the past but I do not have authorization to work. Several forms ask for my employment history. I have paid taxes with the use of an EIN. I do not know whether to include my employment history or omit it. I believe putting it down would be an admission of a crime (working without auth), while omitting it may be fraud. Will I get in trouble for working without authorization, when they orizationsee it on the forms? What should I put down?
