Locally one town would pay the umpires, (lowest in the area mind you) via check through their rec dept and take taxes out of it. Umps didnt like to do games there.It's cash....
It's on the official to properly claim the income.
We would do under the table pretty much through the park, but I think there was a threshold of like $600 a year. When they hit that mark they had to do it the 'real' way with a check/taxes taken out. Something along those lines was what some umps were telling us. Some would look for subs later in the summer if they were getting to that threshold so they wouldnt get it claimed.
