taxes and citizenship

So on my citizenship form I checked the box that says I don't receive any income from illegal gambling (you pretty much have to).

I plan to pay the first of my poker taxes at the end of this quarter. Should I be scared at all that the government will consider this income from illegal gambling and somehow screw up my citizenship app? And if so, what should I do? Thanks.

no. first because the gambling was probably legal and second because the irs won't rat you out.

As far as you're concerned, the gambling you do is all legal.

If anyone questions you on it, just repeat that line over and over.

Check the box that says you're a terrorist. Then your application is guaranteed to sail through unimpeded.
