Do you pay taxes on your online poker store purchases???


[/ QUOTE ]

You are supposed to, yes.

Why refunds and rebates are not taxable. The points and store purchases are a basically a rebate of the rake, and seem like the should be tax free just like my cash back on my credit card which I can also redeem in a 'store' they offer.

You are correct, FPPs and store purchases are a 'price adjustment' or 'rebate' of rake paid. They are not taxable.

However, getting cash for a seat to the WSOP in a tourney, is an 'award' or a 'prize' and is taxable.
