Quick Tax poll (not whether or not you're paying)

yes, i remember that low-count poster.

Not a chance in hell the IRS could force you to disclose your password.

They could probably subpoena your account activity from Party...whether Party would have any responsibility to comply is unclear -- whether they could require YOU to supply them with your account activity I don't know.

You want to hide that money? Go register for a bunch of high buy-in tournies in late December. Unregister later.

[TStoneMBD]

why would they not be allowed to have you disclose your password? cite your sources.

[teddyFBI]

That's simply not how the laws of this country work -- only a court could compel that kind of disclosure.

i dont see how this would hide money, it will just move tax obligations from one quarter to another. which is pretty much identical to a lot of enrons tactics... that thought actually has a lot of paralells to poker now that i think about it. plus it pretty much categorically makes it a bad idea.


tstonembd, no offense, but you seem kind of slow. you should probably not act so authoritative on tax issues for everyones benefit/ease of not having to refute youre dumb ideas.

[TStoneMBD]

youre the first person on my ignore list. literally.

[teddyFBI]

for the record, i wasn't advocating that tourney strategy -- it's pretty stupid.

Tsone, OBVIOUSLY you have no idea what you are talking about, aka, you were wrong on the last thing you posted, so please don't post thins acting like you know what's going on, cause you don't.

ALSO,
how can pp even know how much I play, cause A.) I play under another name for "bonus" purposes. B.) How would they even know what site I played on, if they asked, there's a million responses I could give. c.) ALSO if I claim luck, name one "fish" that writes down how much he makes per day, I thought the fact that they didn't do things like that was what made them fish.

My definition of a session is that it begins when you buy chips (deposit) from an online poker site and ends when you cash those chips out (in the case of online to neteller or a bank account), just as I believe it does with live poker.
Also, I have absolutely no records of session by session play but I do want to be legitimate and pay taxes even if I only made like 10 or 15k, so bank and neteller records is all I have to go on.

The IRS can't 'force' you to give your Party password nomatter what but they can easily get a court order requiring you to give it to them and if you don't it's prison time.
