Two pronouncements, the first of which is probably wrong, and the second of which is definitely wrong.

I have personal experience with Harrahs in this matter. I recently chopped a tournament three-ways. I got $25,000 of the $32,000 first place prize and got a W-2G for $32,000.

You are still definitely wrong if you think you are liable for all of the 32k winnings.

Yes, which is why this is not a problem for a professional, but is for an amateur, who needs to file a different tax form under these circumstances entirely. However, if you follow through, show that you attempted to get Harrah's to accept the correct tax form, and they refused, and then attach the corect form, with the W-2G, you will probably be alright.

Hansen Not Afraid To Get His Chips In
Gus Hansen, who is currently one of the shorter stack remaining in the field, has gone all in four out of the last six hands he's been dealt. He hasn't yet been called, but if he continues at that pace, it may be just a matter of time until someone looks him up.

Chopping as a pro should not have the same level of tax issues, and if your CPA is saying something else, you should consider getting another one.

Nothing would make me happier. It would save me a couple thousand in taxes. But, the IRS still had $32,000 in income reported to them by Harrahs.
