Tour2ma Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 145-114... 259 games picked. At $100 per game that's $25,900 wagered. Of that: $11,400 were losers... 145 * $190 = $27,550 were winners. Lotta work for a $1650 profit... before taxes... gambling winnings are still taxable, right?

Zombo The winner of the bowl mania should automatically win the autographed football since thats a contest for real men and confidence points are the only way to truly pick the games and show who the best is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether you get a W-2G or not all gambling winnings are taxable......but if you itemize you can write losses off up to the amount of winnings. Yes it does work: Taxpayers must report all gambling winnings as income. They must be able to itemize deductions to claim any gambling losses on their tax return. Taxpayers who gamble may find these tax tips helpful: Gambling income. Income from gambling includes winnings from the lottery, horseracing and casinos. It also includes cash and non-cash prizes. Taxpayers must report the fair market value of non-cash prizes like cars and trips to the IRS. Payer tax form. The payer may issue a Form W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings, to winning taxpayers based on the type of gambling, the amount they win and other factors. The payer also sends a copy of the form to the IRS. Taxpayers should also get a Form W-2G if the payer withholds income tax from their winnings. How to report winnings. Taxpayers must report all gambling winnings as income. They normally should report all gambling winnings for the year on their tax return as “Other Income.” This is true even if the taxpayer doesn’t get a Form W-2G. How to deduct losses. Taxpayers are able to deduct gambling losses on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions, but keep in mind, they can’t deduct gambling losses that are more than their winnings. Keep gambling receipts. Keep records of gambling wins and losses. This means gambling receipts, statements and tickets or by using a gambling log or diary. See Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income, for rules on gambling and Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions, for more information on losses. Publication 529 also lists specific types of gambling records a taxpayer may want to keep. Download and view IRS publications on IRS.gov/forms at any time.
