TheMathProf 0 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 ...if you're trying to do it legal and pay taxes on your poker winnings, do you pay taxes on the amount of money that you make in bonuses?And would you categorize it the same as "gambling income" or would you consider it to be separate?Thanks in advance for replies.

DeadStroke 0 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 In the US, you pay tax on all types of income. There are a few specific types of income that are considered nontaxable, but bonuses wouldn't be one of them.I would say that since the bonus income is ultimately derived from gamlbing, you would consider the bonus income as gambling income for tax purposes.
