Eric:
The concern about source of income only applies to regions that have
certain filing statuses with the IRS. For those regions, the problem is
that the IRS have ruled that other region's members are "non-members" when
considering source of funds. A big deal when a region is putting on road
races.
For most Solo only regions, I would think that this IRS ruling is not an
issue. (But I could be wrong.)
