You're right about one thing though.

I am on the fringes of the AP community. I've never pretended otherwise. That's why you don't see me trying to argue with full time APs about AP matters, unless it seems like they're blatantly lying.

But this isn't an AP matter. This is a tax matter, and when it comes down to it, the cash poker world is very similar to the AP world when it comes to tax reporting.
