WINNING POKER PLAYERS, YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE

Uncle Sam want to know how much you won at poker last year. “None of his business,” you say? There’s where you’re mistaken! Taxable income for the- year 1919 includes amounts gained in gambling. Profits made in violation of laws and regulations are none the less taxable. So it’s up to you “penny-ante” boys whose poker accounts are on the right side of the ledger to come across. “What about the losers?” Well, that’s different. Illegal losses are not deductible. . C.
