he probably wants to avoid an audit for other reasons than this.

It's not what you asked, but I used to be paranoid about this stuff too. I think best thing to do is get a good accountant and then you don't have to lose sleep worrying whether you get audited or not because you know you'll be ready for it if it happens.

And personally I can't imagine the IRS auditing someone because he cashed his checks all at once instead of over several months like a good citizen. But then I don't know much and also i think its dangerous to underestimate the stupidity of the system that is in place.
