Plus pt will enable you to keep good records so you can pay taxes on all those winnings.

I'm not sure what your motive for this clause was, but isn't it easier to just use the formula

Withdrawls - Deposits = income

Afterall, PT doesn't keep track of bonuses or rakeback, and I can't imagine that these can be treated any differently from actual take on the tables.

Reporting taxes on poker incoming has been discussed numerous times on the forums, and you do NOT just report the net profit. Do a search and read up on it and consult a professional if you plan to report taxes. Legally you are required to report wins and losses for each session--what a single "session" is online is up for debate at the moment (if you play four tables for 2 hours is that 4 sessions or 1?) but you most DEFINITELY do not simply report the net profit.

To OP: Get PokerTracker. Buy 2p2 books, particularly SSHE by Ed Miller, or the Harrington books for tourney / NL cash game play (I believe the first book applies to cash games fairly well -- not sure, not a NL cash game player). Start reading posting in the Micro/SS/SSNL forums, then posting. That's a decent start. If you have more questions, post in the Beginners forum or just read it and I'm sure a fair number of questions might be answered.
