Playing taxes for your winnings usually are no longer exempt. Whereas you are a U.S. citizen you owe Uncle Sam a portion, regardless if won here or in one other nation. The IRS considers all gambling winnings taxable earnings, even when or no longer it’s an amount that would no longer accumulate reported to the IRS by the payer, cherish that $20 clutch on a scratch off worth, or a lucky $250 when your numbers hit, even a $1,000 jackpot for your accepted slot machine. Sadly, gambling taxes are due.
