Re: Scared of the IRS

I don't know why you think the government is being unreasonable. Everybody knows that gambling income is taxable in the US. It's breathtaking to me that you were honestly ignorant of that fact. And yes, reporting your wins and losses separately is irritating but it isn't the sort of thing people lose sleep over.
I can see complaining about how the government makes you feel like a criminal because of the UIGEA etc., but it's really odd to apply that argument to paying income taxes on, well, earned income.

Wow, it is like an advanced troll post. Are you serious?
People in general, are sheep. They dont go to forums to research everything they do. They go to work, watch tv, raise kids, and maybe search for some entertainment via other channels after that (ie hobbies)
I am being a little silly on this post, but honestly, keeping records of sessions is ludicrous. It takes all of the enjoyment out of even considering doing this in the USA. The tax code for gambling needs MAJOR changes.... well, I guess all of it does.
Man we live in a messed up country.
