5.0 out of 5 starsIf you are a gambler, or assist gamblers with taxes, you need this book
By Alain B. Burrese TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on April 17, 2011
Format: Paperback
I am not really a gambler, and while I provided basic tax information to clients that I helped with business matters, I'm not a tax attorney, and therefore referred my clients to tax professionals for their tax needs. With that said, I enjoyed reading "All In Against the IRS: Every Gambler's Tax Guide" by attorney and tax professional Stephen Fishman, J.D. The book is short, very readable, and believe it or not, very interesting, even though the subject is one that most people would consider boring - taxes.

One of the things that made it interesting, as well as readable for anyone, not just those of us with J.D. or CPA behind our names, is the fact that Fishman wrote the book in plain, easy-to-understand, language, and with a more conversational tone, rather than a boring tax guide. He starts the book with a short chapter on the rules of the game, and his first rule states that gamblers are not treated fairly by the IRS, he suggest that it is perhaps because gambling is viewed as sinful, but regardless of why, gamblers are treated very harshly by the tax laws. If you are a gambler, or if you assist gamblers with their taxes, this is a very valuable book. (Then you might just be strange like me and find reading about the way the IRS treats some categories as interesting.)

After his ten short rules of the game, chapter two discusses what the IRS knows and when it knows it. This chapter covers things such as Forms W2-G, 1099-MISC, and Form 5754. What you need to know is that certain winnings are reported to the IRS. Fishman explains what they are. In the third chapter he explains how and when taxes are withheld from your winnings.

Chapter four is where the book became more interesting in how the IRS wants you to determine your annual wins and losses.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsMaking Taxes Not Dry Isn't Easy...
By Trevor J. Flannigan VINE VOICE on April 2, 2011
Format: Paperback
The book of the week was All In Against The IRS: Every Gambler's Tax Guide by Stephen Fishman. I am not a big fan of paying taxes. In fact, it might top the list of my least favorite things I have to do. But regardless of how much I dislike it, it has to be done. So I do my best to keep myself knowledgeable on different tax areas, so I can minimize my tax burden as much as possible. That's where Fishman steps in... I reviewed one of his books before and I liked it quite a bit, so I thought I would give it another try. He has a great way of taking a extremely dull subject and making it readable.

This particular book by Fishman was all about gambling i.e. slots, poker, blackjack, races, etc. And even though I don't particularly think gambling is a good habit, it is somewhat fun to go to the casino every once in a while and try my luck. However, I never spend any money at a casino that I expect to come home with. For me I will just do $100 max and when it's gone, it's gone. For me this book is good for when that trip to the casino results in a mega win. However, the book is very detailed and it would be really good for anyone that goes to the casino on a very regular basis.

The most interesting thing to me is the way gambling is taxed. There is a story at the beginning of the book about a man who $50,000 on blackjack. He didn't claim it on his taxes at the end of the year because he knew that he lost more than $50,000 that year too, so he figured it was a wash. He got audited and ended up owing $17,000 in back taxes. That guy had to find out how gambling taxation works the hard way... you don't have to.

The main thing you need to know when you are gambling is that you need to track all your wins and losses.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsDay traders have to track and report each transaction to IRS annually. So do gamblers.
By Simon Cleveland VINE VOICE on March 23, 2011
Format: Paperback
Not a gambler? Do you place a bet now and again when I visit Las Vegas, or go on a cruise? Did you know that in most instances you are supposed to report your wins/losses to IRS? Well, now you do.

This book, in my opinion, is one of the best guides on gambling and its repercussions on your tax return each year. I had no idea IRS had such enormous expectations when it came to playing the slot machines, or placing an occasional bet and wining a couple of hundred dollars now and again.

Consider yourself warned: if you play in a casino, play the lottery, gamble on sports, dog or horse races, you have an obligation to Uncle Sam to keep a log and report your actions! Yes, that's true, keep a log of your bets, or you will end up paying more than you owe to IRS.

Here is a simple example from the book:

"Jack is a recreational gambler who never keeps any records of his play. During a visit to the Lady Luck Casino he gets lucky and wins $5,000 on a single play at video poker. The casino files a Form W-2G reporting his win to the IRS. Six months later, Jack does his taxes. He's sure he lost more than he won during the year, so he lists $5,000 of gambling winnings on his return and $5,000 in losses. He gets audited and the IRS asks him for proof he lost at least $5,000 gambling. He has none, so the IRS disallows his clamed losses. As a result, he must pay income tax on his $5,000 in winnings."

I know you may not win $5,000, but the truth is that even if you win $600 on a single bet, you are required to report it to IRS on your tax return and on your state return (the book has a good reference that shows filing expectations for each state).Read more ›
