I have read the tax legislation on this subject. Stretching the parameters, look at it in a broad sense, forget when you started employment with tiger and when you actually did the endo, add a portion of hope and you may get away with it. Look out if you get an audit though.
As I see it its a no go. Would I try it on? Absolutely in the hope of no audit. I know of plenty who have claimed it and hopefully they don't get audited.
I would love to hear from anyone who has been taken employment under these circumstances and subsequently been audited just to know what happened.
