my friend's gf and her cousin went to the casino near us and she won $1,100 on a slot. they came to get her info and then SEIZED the money because she hasn't paid her taxes in a few years |
yeah well 1984. Still although I oblige completely with the IRS, these rules take away from the small margin of winning the house. It is not fun. In the old days I had no problem paying 10% vig when I lost, but paying a third when you win gives no motivation for the risk.
