Does anyone know if we have to report our earnings and get taxed if you are earning money from online poker?

in the USA you do, but you can also deduct any losses you have incurred as well. This doesn't mean just poker, any gambling losses can be deducted from your winnings.
IN THE U.S. It's like any other errnings you make. I believe anything over $300 or $600 you have to claim on your taxes. This only go for your payouts though. Not what you have sitting there.
For anyone who lives in the US, I will personally nominate you for a Darwin award if you do this.
I your total income is below $1000 you dont have to pay taxes. But its a good idea to file anyway, just so they can see it. (I beleive it is $1000, might be more or less)
Rogue, do you know what level makes you a pro? Not that I am any where close, just for the info.Unless you're a pro, that is. Then you can net them out and take other poker related deductions beyond losses.

How can the IRS 'get you on it', unless the Feds are hacking your computer? And to do so without just cause would probably be thrown out. Wouldn't you think we'd be hearing about it if anyone got caught and proscecuted for even playing online poker, much less tax evasion? Any stories or accounts welcome from anyone.I really wonder how many in the U.S. do report their winnings accurately. My guess is pretty close to zero. But the IRS can get you on it, and if they do, it won't be pleasant. You might wish you'd been given the Darwin Award.
taxing on poker would suck really, really bad.
