Pay tax on cashed out winnings an claim ingorance on the rest. IRS has a history of lenience when people attempt to pay taxes but make "mistakes". At most, you pay some interest and small fees.

You cannot 'net' gambling winnings.
Winning go on one line, losses in the dedustions section of the itemized deductions. obg [ QUOTE ] Should I be filing taxes based on this information? These are all round figures Winnings: 180k Losses: 170k Net: 10k Cashed out: 4.5k [/ QUOTE ] |

Netting is illegal even for a pro.
They place all winnings on one line, fill out a business form C expenses, you would simply put losses on an itemized deduction line (no hotel, meal, travel, ect. deductions). The latter deductions are the primary differences. There are requirements though to be considered a pro. obg |

Ok, I'm lost. So you claim the winnings on one form and the losses on another. What's the difference as far as the actual amount of tax you would pay?
From this site: ""I can net my gambling wins and losses." Some gamblers can net their wins and losses—if they are professional gamblers. Most gamblers, however, must put their gambling income on line 21 (Other Income) and take their losses, up to the amount of their winnings, as an itemized deduction on Schedule A. This deduction is not subject to the 2% AGI limitation." http://www.gambling-law-us.com/Artic...mbling-tax.htm |
