<21 years old in US, any chance of being arrested?
 

I have made about 30k online and will file taxes in a few days, I am 20 years old and in the US and dont have a job, still a student. Should I worry about any legal complications or anything?

if you're really worried about it, forward the 30k to me, i'll take good care of it and pay the taxes for you. but in all seriousness, you're fine, pay the man, and sleep well at night.

Legal gambling age is a state matter anyway, not the federal government's concern; in some places, you can gamble at 18, some 21, and some not at all.

The IRS is restricted from passing tax information to other authorities. For example... a prostitute could desbribe her profession as "prostitution" and the IRS could not send that info to a police authority. I forget the law where I read this... but it is on the books.

Of course... other authorities can subpeona your tax returns, but it doesn't work the other way.

The "law" is the 5th amendment which protects us against self incrimination. So a person saying what they do on their tax return is not usable for further investigation.

Anyway, tax evasion is a much stiffer penalty then underage gambling even if there was a federal law that covered underage gambling (which there isn't). So pay your taxes!!!

Just pay the taxes. You're less likely to get in trouble for paying them and claiming gambling winnings at 20 than you might if you didn't pay. All the IRS wants is it's money.
