Claiming $2000 out of $25,000 in earnings isn't just cheating, it's bragging about committing a Federal felony.
I run my officiating as a business and keep copious records because I want everything to be above board. So yes, everything I earn in connection to my business gets claimed. I barely turn a profit anyways due to mileage. I know there are plenty of folks out there that only claim what's on their 1099s and they will likely never be caught. That doesn't make it right and spin it how you like but that is a personal integrity issue. But I see you are taking the government protest approach so keep fighting the good fight. And I don't play fantasy sports for money or gamble so that's a straw herring.
Back to the OP, I could never do this for a living. I like having benefits and I like doing this for fun.
