Re: Who Pays Taxes on Poker Earnings? (POLL)
Yea basically I've got the same situation. I've accumulated money that I haven't been keeping track of and I have no idea how to report it. I am with the group of "ignorant" 20 year olds and have just been recently looking this stuff up.
Adding up each session then itemizing the losses sounds like such a bad way to do this. I've also read that this can severely inflate my income and move me up several income brackets.
I will just have to hear what more people have to say. I'd like to report my winnings because I'm not a fan of severe penalties or jail time. I am considering making substantial side money playing poker in addition to my job income and by then I will more or less have to report my winnings.
