Default Anyone pay US taxes using offshore sportbooks?

Anyone pay US taxes using offshore sportbooks? Does Neteller report US accounts to the US IRS? Can i get audited if i don't report my sports wagering winnings? Any suggestions/advice for the novice?

Does anyone knows whether neteller ask for your SSN# when applying for an account?
Thanks

I read an article that only 18 million dollars was collected or people admitted they won money on gambling last year. Take that with a grain of salt and open your mind a little.

That article must have been from the year 1804. In lottery winnings alone the government skims off billions. A small group of poker professionals alone could account for the 18 million number.

i wouldnt risk it if i were in your shoes.......the irs has weird ways of going after different groups of tax cheats every year

in the past they have gone after laundry mats by checking their water bills, and then checking how much water it takes to run a wash and break the numbers down

look at willie nelson

what a shame

these fukers are the first in line when a major dope dealer gets convicted to collect unpaid back taxes, meaning they get first dibs on seizing property

Maddog are you are IRS auditor? Everything that you have mentioned is either taxes, Irs, and illegal. Asking questions and snooping around.

The IRS cannot give info on your tax return to the FBI. Pay your taxes. You won't get in trouble for it.

CrazyHorse gives good advice. If you are concerned at all, just report it as misc gambling winnings. Is place for it on W2s.

Even high-level drug dealers pay their taxes so that the government can't prosecute them under those pretenses. The IRS cares not about your ethics or morality or lawfulness, they care only that you pay them their piece.
