    One of my goals is to have to pay taxes on my wagering income. Not because I like taxes, but because having to pay taxes would mean I'm winning.

    I have net losses of 18k on fanduel this year in NJ and make $140k a year. This is the first year I gambled and have those massive losses. Any advice for me to say to my accountant who is one of my good friends? He’s going to be flabbergasted at those loses

      What sport are you betting on? We started with $200 in week 12 in the nfl and just hit $1200 on Sunday.

    So can somebody answer this ... What if I'm a high roller and I want to bet $500,000 on a football game and the games wins .... So I would have about $500,000 in winnings in that scenario
    But I also RISKED $500,000 of my own money to get that win
    So how would that be taxed ?
    I think there should be a law that reduces your taxes based on how much you RISK
    If I'm betting $500,000 of my own money I'm the one taking ALL THE RISK
    The IRS is not taking any risk at all so they shouldn't be able to tax my winnings 30 + percent
    Also 9 times out of 10 the money I'm risking at the sports book has already been taxed
    That is robbery

      Indeed, it's rather unconstitutional and why the IRS relies on "voluntary compliance" regarding personal income taxes.

    I worked at a race track for 17 years. We had to take classes on Title 31. Supposedly we were to keep track of people systematically betting under the limits or in increments ultimately equaling or exceeding the 10k limit and 3k too. It's called Structuring. I'm sure casino employees in Vegas take the same training. Nobody wants to fool with it. Just red tape BS.

      If you use a standard deduction and don't itemize, you get to pay taxes on everything in the win column.

      sounds like
      a capital loss - max you can deduct is like 3000 a year

      Wait so you don’t pay taxes gambling with Bitcoin?

    • @ThomasBomb45
      @ThomasBomb45 3 года назад +1

      This is the equivalent of setting up an underground casino using cash to evade taxes. It's not legal, and the IRS can definitely go after you for evading taxes if they find out
      Not sure if betting with bitcoin itself is illegal, but evading taxes certainly is
