that's gonna pass muster later. My ex is also getting $450 after being laid off from her corporate job.

I'm wondering as a sole proprietor if getting paid by a client isn't INCOME for me until I do final accounting at the end of the year. Sole proprietor basically gets year end profit as pay, not a weekly or monthly check. So maybe I just don't report any income at all til the year is up?

Confusing.
