I was thinking more along the lines of, based on mrb's figures, buying 11 FPGA boards and letting them pay my rent. That's substantial enough profit that if I didn't file properly, I'd be worried about a knock on the door from the IRS.

11 boards... do you have $6500 laying around? And you'll invest it to make a (possible, read: Your Milage WILL Vary) return of ~$450/mo? Shoot for the moon, I guess...

Well, if you are mining as a hobby, you get to write off all of your expenses before having pay taxes on any profits.
Want a new top-of-the-line graphics card? Until it pays for itself, you don't owe any taxes. (In the us, from my understanding. IANAL, IANACPA)

What's so wrong with a ~7% return per month ?
