I think if they were keen for P2P to be truly broad-based, then all peers should have the same tax treatment for charge-offs and lender fees. That would need an industry wide official tax ruling.
Most companies providing financial assets won't provide tax advice because if they are wrong, it could be very expensive. Stop expecting to have everything handed to you.
