The IRS considers all gambling winnings taxable profits, even supposing it’s an amount that doesn’t fetch reported to the IRS by the payer, fancy that $20 seize on a scratch off imprint, or a lucky $250 when your numbers hit, even a $1,000 jackpot on your favorite slot machine. Sadly, gambling taxes are due.
