Need some help paying taxes

[Nitewin]

I know it's a bit late but here I am finally getting to it. I'd like to think that I haven't been intentionally avoiding taxes. My life has just been a complete horrible mess the last few years so I hope you fellow leggo members can help me out. Regarding taxes, there's just so much information that it overwhelms me a little. I've watched both Russ Fox videos but I'm still looking for some easy steps to follow. I hope you can help me.

1. If I have not payed taxes in the past and do not have any record of my play time, would it be okay to start today and forget the past? Or should I fabricate records or use estimates?

2. What forms do I have to fill out? State? Federal? What else? I'm a beginner when it comes to taxes. I've filed as a dependent all my life. So would I be filing "Kiddie Taxes"?

3. I know MA is a bad state to live in for gambling as a hobbyist. Does it really matter if you file as a pro or not? Are you declaring yourself as a gambler in any form? I thought it was just "other-income".

Please walk me through this.

1. As a licensed tax professional, the only answer I can give is that you must correct your prior tax returns (if necessary). Fabricating records is obviously wrong.

2. You will need to complete federal tax forms and your state's tax forms (apparently MA).

3. Whether you are a professional or an amateur is a matter of facts and circumstances. You are usually either one or the other (but there are exceptions). If you were claimed as a dependent by your parents in 2009, the Kiddie Tax may apply; again, this depends on your facts and circumstances.

I would strongly suggest you get account histories from the site(s) you have played at so you can reconstruct your gambling wins and losses. That's the first step that's necessary in order for you to know what you won or lost.

Hope this helps,

Ok, so I'm requesting a playing audit right now from Jan 2009 to Aug 2010. What about my winnings prior to that date? How do I report that without records?


Also can you file as self-employed? What difference does that make? Thanks Russ!

I would suggest doing some research first. There is no specific law in the US saying you have to pay federal income taxes. To put it in perspective, US law states that it is mandatory to stop at red light or obey traffic signal. If you look at the US tax law, it actually says 'voluntary compliance'. Federal Income tax is actually an un-apportioned tax meaning that instead of going back to the people to be divided equally or for a service it instead goes to the Federal Reserve / the elite bankers. The Federal Reserve is NOT a government agency it is a group of private banks and elite bankers that print the money for the US with attached interest. Congress has the authority to print currency debt free (no interest attached) but they were swindled by the Federal Reserve act of 1913 at Christmas time when most of Congress was at home with their families. The current economic recession is not an accident, it is built into the system and is allowed to happen. Think about it. How can society ever repay the inherent debt owed from using Federal Reserve notes? Where will that money come from? We can't ever repay it because the money we use to repay it only comes from the same place, which is just more debt. It is impossible. The very system in which we live is a form of slavery and oppression. The owners of the US Government (Rothchild Foundation, CFR, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group) decide some bullshit reason to go to war, in this case they destroyed their own buildings, blamed it on people on the other side of the planet and then decide to go there for the next decade to kill their civilians and steal their resources and most people are too busy watching mainstream news and following celebrities like they are family members and not educating themselves or doing their own research. 9/11 is called a 'false flag op' and they have been used to start almost every major war in history. Read up on the Gulf of Tonkin incident and you will see it, or type that into youtube and watch a video or two. OPEN YOUR EYES. Everything around us is BY DESIGN. Take the red pill! The symbolism and parallels in the Matrix film are no joke they are very real if you open your eyes to see them. It's time to wake up and wake others up. Promote critical thinking and get the truth out there.

I'm sure I'll get some nasty replies to this, but they always come from people with 'opinions' or 'beliefs' and those that do no research for themselves. Opinions and beliefs carry no merit whatsoever, instead we should rely on facts and what we know to be true so anyone reading this please take some time to watch some of the films I am listing below. Just pick 1 of them and I'm sure you will be hooked on obtaining more information from the historians, ex IRS agents, ex CIA, and a few honest Congressmen such as Dr. Ron Paul.

Absolutely man. I agree with you, but what are you saying? Don't pay taxes? I don't agree with the system but I'm born into it after all so I must obey it for the time being?

[robbyd86]

whether or not it's an official "law" or "voluntary compliance" they still throw you in jail for tax evasion so i would recommend paying them.

[luvr]

If you've watched the videos I've linked on YouTube, there's ex-IRS agents who quit the IRS and stopped paying Federal Income Tax and they are not in jail. They still pay normal taxes for goods and services but not income tax. If they arrest you for tax evasion you go to court and demand to see the law that says you have to pay them or you show them where it says voluntary compliance and there's nothing the judge can do and your case is dismissed. The people that go to jail are the people who are not informed and don't do the research.

I obviously can't suggest what you should or should not do. I'm just throwing the information out there.

Wesley Snipes went to jail for tax evasion, Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion..... i'm guessing they could both afford good lawyers and still wound up in jail. Just saying it's probably best not to piss of the government.
