Maybe I'm just too slow to get the joke but someone recently recommended AP to me to get up credit card spend, and while I don't want to say anything to someone I respect, at first sight it appears to be a TERRIBLE idea. It's my understanding that Amazon (and Paypal) will be required to report on a 1099 all the payments received in 2012 and future tax years. So churning a lot of money through AP is going to trigger either an unfairly high tax bill or an expensive audit, from the look of it. If I'm mis-understanding something, feel free to heckle or PM or whatever, but we only accept legit donations and payments. This post I've quoted below is probably a joke but cooking services are 1) taxable services, and 2) in my parish (county) if it's found out that you were charging for these services, you will also be fined heavily on the local level because you are required to have $1 million in business insurance plus a business license plus a $100K kitchen. (In other words, you are supposed to pay someone off to run cooking/catering services, so it would be stupid beyond belief to have paper trail that you performed such a service.) I knew someone who tried it, obviously, and they got caught after a few years working for cash. Putting it right there in black and white with a payment service (even as a joke) seems unbelievably idiotic to me. But maybe I'm the idiot here. It wouldn't be the first time. Maybe you can just tell the IRS, "Hey man, I was just kidding around with the wife." Maybe they're just a big warm-hearted understanding organization like that...who knew? Not me!
