19 yr old in college filing taxes

[halperin]

right now I'm 19 and in my second year at college. I have made about 30k this year in poker winnings. Of course ill be filing taxes this year, but just wondering what are the chances i would get audited anyways? isn't it pretty safe if i don't. I'm still young enough and in a situation where that money could all be gifts from family.

Like you said, you're filing anyways, so it's irrelevant. Don't tempt yourself. Also, I believe if/when you get audited they can/do go multiple years back.
