Default Re: Who Pays Taxes on Poker Earnings? (POLL)

What about honesty? What if you knew that there was a 99.99999% chance that you wouldn't get caught and you just pay for moral/ethical reasons?

That said, I still far exceed the speed limit on our nation's highways.

It's hard for me to be honest when I feel the IRS isn't being "fair". I understand online gambling is fairly new. However, I personally feel it would be the IRS's best interests to make it as easy as possibly to pay taxes on my gambling income. Instead, I'm forced to decide what I "think" is a session, made to vastly increase my gross income even though I my net income hasn't increased, and sent to jail or heavily fined if I get it wrong.
