Re: Poll: Do you claim taxes on your winnings?
[ QUOTE ]
I don't know any winners making <15K that pay taxes. I seriously doubt the IRS is gonna run u down for a puny 15K anyway. Now, if you are making 25K+ its ur ass if you dont pay.

I do (make less than 15k and claim). I do because :
a: I don't want to have to explain the deposits in my account if I'm audited.
but mainly b: I believe it is morally wrong to hide income from taxation. Believe me, I realize I'm in the minority. And I'm not surprised that No is ahead. Most people think I'm crazy to pay. Of course, most people I know, when I bring up taxes, talk about how to cheat like it's not big deal.
