The real question is if the IRS is going to decide to look into your friend's financial records for the past few years or not...

This makes sense, but he's kind of banking on the fact that it doesn't look too odd for a kid to be broke while in college and then experience a huge upswing in income the year after he graduates. But if the IRS is going to make it a policy to ivestigate every poker player's past history the first year they file as a pro, then he may be in trouble.

Thanks a lot for your input. Anyone else care to chime in?
