Default Re: Poll: Do you claim taxes on your winnings?

i net my wins and losses because my state (wi) doesn't allow you to deduct losses. if i didn't i would have paid over half my income last year in state tax, not to mention the ~30% that went to the feds.

i make a lot of money and probably run a high risk of audit but i don't really have another option unless i move to another state.

Am I the only one who claims most of the income but not all to keep the amount down? Im just a student otherwise, so the taxes on the first 15k are not bad at all. I would also think a lot of people would just claim online winnings and not casino or vice versa.

Is this somehow more dangerous because you are drawing attention to your poker income but not being honest?

I'm dissapointed at the number of people saying they don't claim because of the way the gov spends their money. (in this case the military.) First of all you can't selectivly choose what you should pay. Don't want more war and deficit? Don't vote for morons, and dont let other people do the same. Besides, the money goes to more than the military. While I wish we spent more on other programs and services, that doesnt change the fact the government serves every one of us every day in so many ways I cant even count. By not paying your simply dumping the problem onto other people and I feel the military argument is just a rationalization of your actions. (well they are doing bad things, so I can too)

Your taxes are your bill for living in this country. If you don't like it, get the f*ck out. If you don't like how they're spent, use your vote, which I'm sure most of you don't do. That's what makes this country great, you can vote & change things.

Yes and I'm doing it right. Last year I just did net because my records sucked.

I have an accountant.
