I created a poll on another website on  how much percent of american actually pay  taxes on online winnings and most people voted less than 20 percent  which is definitely correct. I should have changed the wording to online  poker pros that win since people said that poll is a bit ambigious  since it would include recreational players as well that make say just  $2000 a year.

However, how many cases have there been that you actually heard of where  an online player gotten into trouble for not paying taxes? I don't  think i ever read of any case. The only ones i could think about in  terms of just poker is Michael Mizrachi but he is a live player and a  big name and also wins tournaments so that information is sent to the  government.

But has anyone heard of anyone you know where they got in trouble for  not paying taxes on online winnings? If a guy is winning $100,000 a year  and making it for a few years, i am positive there are people like that  where they just don't pay any taxes right. Would i be correct?

But the thing is, when has someone actually someone like this been  caught or gotten in trouble because i don't recall any stories about  these things when checking this through poker forums.  I think anyone that makes say 2-3k probably would never get caught but what about those guys that are making at least 5 digits and has no other source of income?
