It would be to SPI. I actually don't even know if SPI is in the US 
(although I am assuming it is). I was just making a point that the 
records have to be correct otherwise there could be some admistrative 
problems.

   Since

Meh, the IRS is no big deal as long as you actual pay attention and do 
the paperwork. A lot of people are intimidated (and I can see why) by 
the IRS but they don't need to be.

The only people that are normally in trouble by the IRS are those who 
refuse to just follow the rules.
