normally I dont, but...
Oct 7th, 2005 at 10:05pm
 
Normally i don't gamble much at all. the occasional $5 bet with a friend on a football game. I enjoy spending my money and having something to show for it.


But I had a really good week at work, and my partner wanted to go to the local native american ran casino.


I won about $600


He won $2,000

The casinos don't track it unless it's over $10,000, so why should we?  Wink  Spend it all on tools I say!

Actually, as part of the whole "let the Native Americans in Oklahoma have casinos and we will tax the daylights out of em" project, they report any winning over $400.00


My buddy actually got tax paperwork, like he was working!!!

$1199.00 and your safe (in Nevada). $1200.00 and you fill out the paperwork before they give out the winnings. Usually most have the tax withheld at the casino. Not that I've ever won enough for the experience.

According to IRS regulations, all gambling profits must be included on your tax return whether or not you received a W-2G from the casino.  Angry  If you are using a casino membership card, the IRS will ususlly find out even without a W-2G.  The casinos are VERY cooperative with the IRS, because anything they can document as having been paid out as winnings, is negative income for them.

BTW  I am a tax preparer and teach tax classes.
