Cash game poker players don't get W2-G's either. The way the IRS gets them is lifestyle. They want to know how you are making $3000 a month in mortgage and car payments when you only make $30,000 a year. But the ones they have caught usually get a cut rate deal and make monthly payments to payoff their tax bill.
