Exactly.

And even a lawyer I know tells fellow officials to claim a lot of things legally so that you get write-offs and not really be taxed or have to pay based on that income. And when you consider a lot of things like dry-cleaning or meals after a game, many of us are not really making a killing officiating games at $60-$70 a pop. I know I am lucky if the money I make does not do much more than pay expenses for the year than anything.
