I get crushed for this answer every time I give it, but I'll stand by it. Have them wire me the cash and pay the taxes and be done with it. The IRS is second only to the Mob in people I don't screw with. Think about it like this, internet poker is at best a grey area in most states and I am sure they could find a way to prosecute you if they had cause. Don't forget Pete Rose did alot fo things wrong, ALOT and guess what he went to jail for, you guessed it tax evasion. I can't say it strongly enough, if there is any way shape or form that the IRS might find out about any income I would rather claim it than get caught with my pants down. The IRS will not screw around with you on something like that. When I fill out my taxes I claim EVERY penny that is profit at the end of the year, every one. With horses it's easy because they send you a W-2G form for races that pay over $599, on the internet you have to keep track yourself and I recommend doing that diligently.
