Happens most frequently when you are playing at Universitiess and other
sorts of non-profits, and passport numbers required in Europe. We've
never had a problem with IRS.
I am going to take a guess though that when you are making the big
and/or regular bucks you would set the musicians up as employees and
give them weekly checks, taxes and social security taken out, etc.
That is a guess however,
