Playing Poker and Taxes

[JeanieJ]

<font color="blue"> Hello Everyone!

I was curious if you had to pay American taxes while you play poker online for a living. All poker sites and based in other countries due to it being illegal to run one in the states. So do I pay for taxes for money I made in other countries?

Thanks for any help

Quite simply Yes, you must pay the taxes.

Run a search for taxes, especially in the internet forum and you will find this topic has been discussed a lot in the last month.
