Every year you have to have a business plan (financial statements, year in review, current year goals, what worked and what didnt, and explaining what you are doing to become profitable) and you also need a time log of the hours you have spent (need 600 hours to call it a business, i think the # is 600, but they recommend that you have 800-1000 cause they question everything)
Your right that his underreporting is what did him in, but the large CASH deposits per month is what triggered them even looking at him.

Any cash deposit over $10,000 is required by Federal laws to have a Currrency Transaction Report completed by the 'receiving' bank. A CTR must be kept on file and available for auditing purposes. These came into effect to try and limit a number of potential criminal activities. Certain types of business's that handle these sums on a routine basis can get exemptions but it can be a little tricky for individuals. Having a large number of these can certainly trigger some further probing.
