When the money is reached, they count out the chip equivalent for each place and put the chips in ziplock bags. You can usually see them sitting on the table behind the final table. As people bust out they hand you the bag for whatever place you busted out in. Any chopping deals therefore have to be done the players; they won't adjust the payouts. They also make you play it out until there is one person left with all the chips. I imagine this is at least partially due to the fact the winner gets a main event seat. As for tax forms and such it hasn't come up yet since they've only had daily tournaments and none of them have had a prize of over $5000 which is the threshold. I'm not sure if they'll do anything differently for the WSOPc or not.
